Yes, granted, but at least, it was pretty visible in FORTRAN that you
are jumping to a variable, and not a constant.  With COBOL, you did not
even know.

Sorry, but I do not remember the properties of GOTO in Python, well enough
to compare.  I carefully checked both the tutorial and the reference, and
I feel pretty dumb, but I just do not succeed at finding the information! :-)
