No kidding: I'd really like a GOTO.  I know, that's heresy, but I like
it during development.  Sometimes I have a whole bunch of tests, and
change something that will only affect a test near the end.  I'd love
to GOTO around the early stuff.

If Python used {} to delimit blocks, I could just make the skipped
code a block and add a condition to skip it, but with the indentation
as the way of showing block scope (which I *love*), I have to indent a
big chunk of code to use that method.
