Unconstrained use of ``++goto++`` can lead to programs that are extremely difficult to comprehend and analyse. For {cpp}, it can also lead to the program exhibiting unspecified behavior.


However, in many cases a total ban on ``++goto++`` requires the introduction of flags to ensure correct control flow, and it is possible that these flags may themselves be less transparent than the ``++goto++`` they replace.


Therefore, the restricted use of ``++goto++`` is allowed where that use will not lead to semantics contrary to developer expectations. "Back" jumps are prohibited, since they can be used to create iterations without using the well-defined iteration statements supplied by the core language.
