IMHO this is a bad idea. It will make the server more complex. It
won't allow alternative implementations. There may be things which
look like straight forward but aren't. Wouldn't it be nice if a "goto"
would also allow units to use a ferry boat so they can go to another
continent. See also the discussion about another way of doing
auto-settle.
