If you thought spaghetti code was bad, ...
in December, 1973 R. Lawrence Clark proposed a new programming
construct: COME FROM. See https://www.fortran.com/come_from.html
What can we do in this new age of GOTOless programming do to match this
incredible achievement?
How about an "against" statement.
Something like against <iterable of callable objects> throw <iterable of
arguments>?
This doesn't really capture the same weird behavior of COME FROM, but it
is a starter.
How about a "without" statement?
without <identifier [, identifier ...] [raise <exception>]:
<suite>
Within the <suite>Any mention of any identifier in the list raises the
specified or default (WithoutError) exception.
PEP writers: sharpen your quills!
