This will introduce the notion that gotos are allowed. Won’t be applied.
A refactoring without goto would be applied.
What's the problem with gotos? It's some bullshit proposed by some
Java-fanatics who don't understand compilers that gotos were not
allowed, but they are in many cases much more efficient than long
if-trees.
In fairness to the Java fanatics, prohibitions against goto's predate
Java by many years. Dijkstra's letter "Go To Statement Considered
Harmful" was published in 1968, while the Java project wasn't begun
until 1991.
