Yeah, I wish C++ had function/scope epilogs and labeled loops/breaks, too. Those are the cases where the "never use goto" rule can be broken to make better code than adding all of the code that would be required to handle it the "right" way (setting up early exit flags and if statements after each level of nested loop to check the flag).
