 Due to silly conding standard?  Or in language that does not have
'goto'.

It was suggested that 'theoretically', 'goto' could be replaced by recursive function calls.
Whether still within the context of a language with no other control flow instructions, is not known. The suggester also chose not to share examples of how it would work.
