Chipmunk Basic allows GOTO labels with similar
characteristics to the above.  Rule (3) is unneeded
because all library modules are done by including
files, which also use the one global namespace.
Assignment to a variable being used as a GOTO label
can result in unexpected behavior.

Line numbers, as GOTO targets, in Chipmunk Basic must
be in ascending order and spaced apart by at least
the number of intervening lines.  This does cause
some incompatibilities with later MS qbasic code
which allows line numbers out of order.


IMHO. YMMV.
