Personally, I disagree completely -- seeing a zero at
the end of the goto tells me that I can still do
something when I arrive there.  I mainly use it to
tell whether I can move an engineer to a square and
start improving it immediately.  A more important use
is when attacking -- I would hate to move next to an
enemy unit and run out of movement.

However, in that case would be useful to know if there
was only a fractional move left.  Perhaps a '*' could
be used when the remaining movement would be less than
1 but more than 0.
