Comment on New Actionscript compiler from Adobe

Comments

Non-linear control flow added to AS3 through a new 'goto' keyword.

I don't know what to make of this change. I always assumed goto was something you designed into your language from day one, rather than bolted on in day 4000 or so. Can someone more familiar with language design (or the target use cases--I presume high-performance game programming?) comment on this further?
