If by "loose" you mean "set free", then yes perhaps it will.
(My apologies. It was too good to pass up.)
But instead of seeing goto as a continuation, what if it's a tail-call?
function A()
local N=0
local C=function()
N=N+1
goto B
end
N=1+C()
::B::
return N
end
print(A())
Does this print 1 or 2? Assuming a hypothetical Lua that allows such a thing.
It prints 1. You've skipped over the assignment instruction.
