Exceptions is nice for try { new foo(); } catch (Exception $ex)
{ ... }, but I don't see how it could ever fit in my code as a
replacement for the break/continue goto-emulation which I have to use
in lack of the real thing.
Just add a big fat red warning in the manual or something that goto is
most likely not something the everyday user needs, but at least let
us who know how to use it use it.
I'm seriously considering rewriting my code in C just to make it
possible to maintain it and most importantly, understand it without
spending an hour or more just looking at a bunch of breaks and
continues.
