Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the parameter "3" there the moral equivalent 
of a line number or label, the proper target of GOTO?  If so, isn't all 
this complication unwarranted?  GOTO doesn't ordinarily change execution 
state except for the execution point (manifested as an instruction pointer, 
or whatnot).

If it's not a label, what then _does_ it represent?
