Last I looked, Ada included a goto statement, it is people
who absolutely forbid goto's who are failing to follow the
above advice.

The Ada way is to use a goto if and only if it improves the
readability and maintainability of the code. Yes, you can
argue that there are zero such cases, but obviously many
programmers and the designers of the Ada language disagree
with you :-)
