If you're really into "goto", I can try to revive my hack described in
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2004-09/msg00244.html , but this was
only for local goto, not global goto, which is what I think you mean
when you mention goto in the context of exceptions.
Local goto would be excellent. I hate artificially breaking code
up into tiny one-use functions just to prevent extremely indented and
hard to read code. Goto keeps you from having to nest so
deeply. I actually prefer it over proper exception handling
sometimes.
