Chris,

As you correctly point out, the use of ITER/LEAVE is a matter of opinion and preference. Others have already pointed out that ITER and LEAVE are unlike GOTO's because of their built-in limitation.

Others have pointed out that they *believe* ITER
and LEAVE to be unlike GOTOs. I don't fall
into that camp; I believe it is very possible to
use them in an unstructured manner (as opposed
to DO or SELECT). ITER is a gray area (IMHO),
but I think LEAVE is just a GOTO, wrapped in
a little synctatic sugar.

A matter of opinion.
