Probably not as you cant go to an arbitrary location especially a different call stack

but why not just use goto actually? You also cannot, at least in C++, not jump to an arbitrary location, it must be within the current function.

One could ask the same thing about `for` and `while`: why not just use `if`s and `goto`s?

Because they're convenient and useful constructs. I don't know if `breakelse` is too, but maybe -- especially when part of a `?` operation.

sometimes less flexibility is good.
