I can see how it might require an explicit state machine (keep a mutable state number and switch over the inlined bodies of what could be functions), but I'm not seeing how it could require `goto`.

Are there more-complex relationships that might require it?

I meant it more in the sense that “you need one or the other” rather than “some cases require one and some other cases require the other”.
