By the way -- Does this mean the XX operator is official now?
And what about X? It'd let you write the same thing without the join:
goto("L" ~ { rand 10 } X rand 10)

Forgot to answer the more general question. Presuming we still have
next LABEL;
last LABEL;
redo LABEL;
goto LABEL;
how do we parse something like this

Ok, I have 2 questions.
1. I know there is the xx operator for repeating strings. I also know you
