Goto is pretty handy if you're not writing in the language but writing a translator to the language instead. That is, when some corporate politics demand the product must be in PHP but you feel you start losing your mind writing in it... well, write in your favorite language and compile it to PHP!

That is by far one of the worst solutions I've heard to the problem. I really feel bad for anyone who is hired to work on your code and told that it was written in PHP, only to look at a compiler generated mess.

Please tell me you're joking.

I was joking. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
