In NQC, it is necessary to be especially careful about the use of goto as Dave
writes in the NQC Guide:
The goto statement should be used sparingly and cautiously. In almost every
case, control structures such as if, while, and switch make a program much more
readable and maintainable than using goto. Care should be taken to never use a
goto to jump into or out of a monitor or acquire statement. This is because
monitor and acquire have special code that normally gets executed upon entry and
exit, and a goto will bypass that code – probably resulting in undesirable
behavior.
