[Python-ideas] Add "goto fail" to Python?

[Steven D'Aprano]

Guys,

Sturla's original email was quite subtle, but you may have missed that 
he is proposing this as a joke PEP for April Fools Day, a bit like the 
introduction of GOTO or the retirement of Guido:

As a joke, it pokes fun at Apple's recent "goto fail" security breach. 
Unfortunately the Python C source code apparently uses exactly the same 
"goto fail" idiom, although hopefully not as poorly as Apple did.
