10 Yes,

20 COMEFROM 50

30 but when will they include comefrom.

40 COMEFROM 10

50 I always wanted goto,

60 COMEFROM 30

70 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM




a comefrom would indeed be interesting and arguably more useful...


Ouch. My first negative.

Comefrom could be usefull to implement aspect oriented semantics.

Invisible asserts are also possible for debugging purposes, that don't pollute the codebase. They also don't self-document the code but (and I might be mistaken) PHP can't just optimize some statements out so as to not have them eat cycles like compiled langs.

Both of these could sit in separate modules and be coupled in or not depending on weather one debugs or deploys.
