Description:
------------
Currently, things like that are allowed:

try { ... plop: } catch(Exception $e) { goto plop; }

try { } catch(Exception1 $e) { goto plop; } catch(Exception2 $e) { plop: }

GOTOs shouldn't be allowed in those cases.

This is not a bug but a design decision.
According to it the only GOTO limitation is a prohibition to jump into loop or SWITCH statements. However, it may safely jump over try/catch boundaries.
