Would you have a problem with me describing Python as an untyped
high-level assembly-language, and then working around the lack of JMP
using try...exempt?

Of course, I understand that it is no skin off your nose whether I write
bad code or not, but you might get mighty frustrated with my constant
questions on the news group "How do I write this piece of assembly code in
Python?".
