I wish to check if I understood correctly what you mean.

If we consider the 'end' or a subprogram or an 'end loop', then your condition
occurs. Hence, they are equal to gots's. Is that OK ? Similarly, 'then' is
a goto or not according to the value of the condition.

Where is there a funding for research on this topic ?
