Ofcourse with your example nobody would use GOTO, That would be stupid. Readability isn't important in such a tiny alias, as you will never go back and debug it. For your example, Speed and Readabiity is not an issue. There are cases where GOTO jumps are far better than using a long stream of IF-ELSE though. Nobody suggested that GOTO was better than IF-ELSE in every possible circumstance. To use a GOTO jump in that instance would be unwarranted.
If that example is meant to illustrate that all uses of GOTO are unwarranted, then I have to disagree. If it's meant to bolster SubSpace's stance of "Goto should be removed from every self respecting language" I have to disagree with that too.
