Although I usually hate goto's, here is an example which I used
myself two or three times:


	switch( expr ) {

	defolt:
	default:	/* code, probably error handler */
			break ;
	const1:		...
	const2:		if ( ! const2_allowed )
				goto defolt ;
			else ...
	const3:		...
	  ...
	}

Now this is just another example which seems to me perfectly
readable. But I must say, far most goto's I find detesting.
Yech!
One shouldn't get used to goto's, that's my opinion.
