I've needed goto statements when translating old code written
with gotos.

True, but there are some that aren't easily translated.  I
remember implementing code from Knuth.  I think it was a
prime generation algorithm.  It was MIX code that interwove
two loops and couldn't be easily untangled.

Since I just wanted to text it out I used C++ which had
both gotos and priority queues built in.
