[Effective-cpp] Item 35: Familiarize yourself with the langu age standard

[Atul_Khot at i2.com]

Don't really know how to interprete this.
Consider all the goto bashing - and I agree with it. Gotos increase code
complexities. 

But then sed is there for so long -- and there are powerful sed idioms 
built around sed gotos.

See

or

Now consider Perl and Sed.

Both are text manipulators ..... And both go very differently about it.

Nevertheless, I do believe that when you compare different languages and
their apparently divergent paradigms, you often find ways that each 
achieves
the same thing by different means.
