Actually Pascal excises non-local gotos along with more than that and 
nested
functions (which is used a lot in Ada yes but another language will 
catch bugs
which can be found easier and the Ada testsuite is not really complete 
with
a lot of bugs fixed lately).

See I replied, but I wanted to put you straight on a technical detail 
which
you keep on forgetting.
