Gotos are not so evil. Just use them when they are useful and
they can't be replaced by structured programming. In D I create
finite state machines at compile-time that use gotos, they are
quick.
Do FSMs really need to be spaghetti monsters? I heard, gcc
optimizer can tear functions into common pieces and them
reassemble the functions back from these pieces, or simply inline
them, won't you get the same result?
