It reminds me of a paper by Knuth, where he states that
"goto" statement is necessary; don't remember the title,
however.
I don't remember needing a goto in Haskell...
Well, for imperative languages, of course.
We're talking goto-the-concept, since "break" counts as "goto"; thus,
so does MonadCont, and so does pattern match failure in a monad.
