catch(:block) do ... end

Between that and redo you should be good to go. Prolly slower, though.

hehe. I recently noticed that C# still has a goto, although
it seems that you can't have a label right at the end of a
function since the label must precede an actual statement. I
found it to be useful in a case where I was deep in nested
loops, searching for a string and had just found it, so I
needed to jump out. It seemed so much clearer and simpler to
use the goto rather than have

if (... & flag_variable)

in every loop condition., even though I had to put silly nop
statements at the end of the functions.
