GOTO w/ Python?

[Daniel Fackrell]

After skimming the linked page to get a feel for the CAME FROM statement, is
it conceptually different from short procedures?  Does the only difference
lie in the fact that for compiled languages one of the instances will be
inline?  I do understand that it would have some effect on variable scoping,
but this can be easily handled in other ways.

So what's the benefit that might outweigh the opacity of the code created?

When we attempt the impossible, we can experience true growth.
