It does - see http://entrian.com/goto/

(In case you doubt it: yes, it works, but note that it doesn't work at the
interactive prompt, only in a real source file.)

(The fact that I felt obliged to add the first paragraph on that page is
the funniest part of the whole thing.  I really did have people genuinely
thanking me for the module, asking for features, asking for help with
using it, and so on.)
