Haskell also appears to have a very interesting form of goto: https://wiki.haskell.org/Compose#Using_Cont With Haskell's advanced type system, could we recreate implicit int/real typing, and perhaps even EQUIVALENCE?

Hat tip for anybody that pushes a MonadGoto into hackage, with the obvious Goto and GotoT implementations :)

Bonus points for also implementing the ComeFrom interface from Python's comefrom joke package!
