This is sorta funny in that Cyrille unabashedly uses goto in the Prime source code. You don't need to convince him of its utility! Cyrille has posted about the difficulties in implementing goto in PPL.

Even C and Pascal have a GOTO statement. How hard could it be to implement it? Even though there's no explicit GOTO, any of the looping constructs must allow an internal GOTO in order to repeat the same block of code. Even if GOTO wasn't allowed to branch out of a block such as FOR or REPEAT, it could still be useful.
