  11. If a routine needs to perform some cleanup before returning
  12. and there may be occasions where an early RETURN is required
  13. (e.g. errors), then GO TO to transfer to a single clean-up-
  14. and-return code block is neater than multiple copies of said
  15. block.  Of course if the clean-up is complex, it would warrant
  16. being a separate (internal?) procedure.
