  The <em>goto</em> operator can be used to jump to another
  section in the program.  The target point is specified by a label
  followed by a colon, and the instruction is given as
  <em>goto</em> followed by the desired target label.  This
  is not a full unrestricted <em>goto</em>.  The target
  label must be within the same file and context, meaning that you cannot jump
  out of a function or method, nor can you jump into one.  You also
  cannot jump into any sort of loop or switch structure.  You may jump
  out of these, and a common use is to use a <em>goto</em>
  in place of a multi-level <em>break</em>.
