3. What operating system and processor architecture are you using? :MacOS/ARM
4. What did you do? :use goto and ::label::

Hi there, I met a problem when I use 'goto' in gopher-lua v1.1.1. When I use goto like this

for i = 1, #backupSource do
  if i == 2 then
     goto continue
 end
 ::continue::
end

It get error:
near '::': syntax error
Is there something wrong with how I used it?

I believe it's not supported, as this library is a Lua 5.1 implementation and goto was added in 5.2

But in the version v1.1.0, gopher-lua has supported goto
