My vote is +1 for goto, just because that largely describes what it
does and how it is used.  I don't mind if it winds up being called
jump, I just think it will be easier for people to find it when they
need it if it is called 'goto'.  'goto' also comes with all the usual
anti-goto propaganda that will help discourage people that shouldn't
be using it from using it.
