   Exactly.   
   Every if construct has an implicit goto [IFNOT].   
   The problem seems to be that three cinatraints, rwo of them aretifical,   
   weem to be in play againts eaxh other.   
      
   1. The way machine code operates is full of gotos.   
   2. The desire of practical coders to have code that is easily understood.   
   3. The desire of compScis to have code conform to some arbitrary   
   standard of completeness op elegance or some other bollocks. And then   
   impose that on a language.
