in thread How does 'goto LABEL' search for its label?

I didn't say it should be disallowed. I said it is squirrely. In particular, it is easy to see doing this by accident. So it is appropriate to issue a warning which even provides the opportunity to add a line indicating "yes, I really did intentionally use 'goto' to exit this subroutine".

And die is a less squirrely way to unwind a stack.
