public final class GotoStatement extends Statement
Goto Statement. 
 
 Simula Standard: 4.5 Goto-statement
 
  goto-statement = GOTO designational-expression
                 | GO TO designational-expression
Java does not support labels like Simula. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM), however, has labels. A JVM-label is simply a relative byte-address within the byte-code of a method. We will use Java's exception handling together with byte code engineering to re-introduce goto in the Java Language. This is done by generating Java-code which is prepared for Byte Code Engineering.
