The easiest way I know of doing the first is placing the code inside a
#while loop with a simple switch. say

#macro DoMacro ( etc )
	#local Switch = 0;
	#while (Switch = 0)
		#if ( something = true )
			#local Switch = 1;
		#end
	#end
#end

As for the second, again placing sitches for various sections means that
instead of a literal goto, segments of the macro will be skipped. And if
you want to go backwards, intead of forwards, maybe the goto location
should be another macro in its own right.
