Except that your code doesn't avoid "goto", it just writes in a more
convoluted way that avoids the use of the literal string g-o-t-o.

Also, your technique is a lot less clear than just using goto.

So, the advice is to just use goto in this case instead of trying
to adhere to 'never use goto' by the letter but not in spirit.
