It always sounded too much like GOTO for my tastes.
But when it arrived in DCL I had more cause to dislike it and preferred
to use CALL instead. The simple reason for that was that a CALL can
only reference something declared as a SUBROUTINE, and it can optionally
pass parameters; GOSUB just branches to a label until it hits a RETURN.
