Now you have started a long discussion about the benefits
of the 'goto' statement.

Oh, I love it if used in the right context, like error escape
and scanning token tables like for video/bit stream decoder in ANSI-C :)
But in general, yes I agree of course.

It is future safe, which hasn't changed.
I.e. in case its to no-avail, there is a "bad working" fall back here.
However, we have other stuff there using internal API details w/o replacement.

It is a compromise for a too rigid and not completely thought through
encapsulation (IMHO). But I don't have the time to wait and debate this
with the responsible OpenJDK parties. Which should be the next thing some day.
