I just added support for goto statements to my GopherJS project and now I am trying to get rid of my patches. These occurrences of goto however are a bit problematic:
GopherJS has to emulate gotos, so there is some performance drawback when doing so. In this case the drawback is major, since this is a core function of math/big which is called quite often. Additionally I can't see any reason here why the implementation with gotos should be preferred over my proposal.
That's why I would kindly ask to include this patch, even though it is functional equivalent to the existing code.
