well it's a toolkit.  sometimes you have to use 'goto' for clarity,
much as i am loathed to.  usually a:

    for (;;)
    {
        for (;;)
        {
            ...

            if (forbid(c))
                goto break2;

            ...
        }
    }

break2:

the problem being that at the end of the first loop requires
some sort of test (probably the same test as in the second
loop) which will cause code duplication and one day you will
forget to keep both tests in sync.

iirc it should be 'goto fonfon' :)
