Hi all,
I saw a lot of comments saying GOTO is not usefull, very bad, and we
should'nt use it because we don't need it.
I think that's true, but only if you *create* programs.
But if the goal is to provide some kind of converter to automatically take
an old application written with an old language (using GOTO), and generating
python code, it would certainly a great help to have this (unclean) feature
in native python.
