Well, on the down side, it would probably make the binary some whooping 0.25% larger.

Exactly these same arguments can be used to justify 'goto' and 'goto'
actually is a very intuitively clear construct while I wouldn't say the
same of whatever [N]. Numerical levels have an awful kludgy feel to them;
labelled break/continue would be cleaner, but I still don't like them.

Maybe people should just organize their code better?
