I was at DG in the early nineties. A lot of very smart people devised some of these conventions, from hard-earned experience in the kernel and system-level software. I've never been one for "fascist-rules documents", but in DG's case many of the rules made good sense. I'm not advocating one approach over another; just wanted to show an example where some careful thought went into the use of goto.
