Ray, at the risk of another 'holy war', please don't encourage the use of
"RETURN TO" - particularly with large complex groups of programs with lots
of subroutines, this can lead to "return stack overflow" scenarios that are
extremely hard to debug (having cleaned up a lot of these as the 'next
programmer' on site, I cringed when I read that). I am not an anti-GOTO
Nazi, if used sparingly and with good reason, but RETURN TO is, in my
experience, a debugging nightmare waiting to happen.

Subject: Re: [U2] Deep and long indentations vs multiple exit points
A third possibility is to allow GOTO ERROREXIT (single exit point) - or
even RETURN TO ERROREXIT - in error handling code. This substantially
reduces the number of levels of indentation required.
