-ENOPARSE little bunny hop
(though I could have said "just leave a blank line)

I think that code blocks are more obvious to read.

This is the original code:

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();
	if (result)
		goto label;

label:
	go on...

He proposes:

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();
label:
	go on...


I don't find the test->goto label; label: use offensive,
but if he does, I think keeping a blank line in place of
the test->goto might be better.

	result = foo();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = bar();
	if (result)
		goto label;

	result = baz();

label:
	go on...
