The spec says "It is illegal for a GotoStatement to be used to skip
initializations.". (
http://www.d-programming-language.org/statement.html#GotoStatement )

According to the glossary
(http://www.d-programming-language.org/glossary.html), "A code construct is
illegal if it does not conform to the D language specification. This may be
true even if the compiler or runtime fails to detect the error."

So the compiler is free to ignore illegal code. A future compiler, potentially
not dmd, may indeed flag it as a compile-time error, so any behavior caused by
illegal code should be regarded as unpredictable and unreliable.
