Knuth comments (resp. warns the reader):

"By the way, if you don't like |goto| statements, don't read this. (And 
don't
read any other programs that simulate multistate systems.)"
Don Knuth, September 1998

This may be dated. But while I cannot judge  the reasoning,
I did not want to miss to post it here. At least for its subtle humor.
