Yikes!  That's not the JMP that's bad, it's the target calculation!  That's
what ON <expr> GOTO <label>, <label>, ... was created for!

It's not what it was created for It's WHY it was created.
Yes to make a bad practice part of the language, ROTFHMGUATI*.
But more to the point adding ON to the debate is hardly going
to advance GOTO's position as most hated command<grin>.
AIR ON was first used as an Event trap, then added regexpr widget later.
