title: Why does Go have a "goto" statement?
body: <p>I was surprised to find that Go has a <a href="http://golang.org/ref/spec#Goto_statements" rel="noreferrer">'goto'</a> statement. I've always been taught that 'goto' statements are a thing of the past and evil for it occludes the actual flow of a program, and that functions or methods are always a better way of controlling flow.</p>
  <p>I must be missing something. Why did Google include it?</p>
