The whole point here is to use a keyword.  That keyword does not need
to be the actual word "label".

Alternatives include
   "spot", "point", "place", "target", "location", "destination", ...

No doubt any choice could cause breakage for *some* existing programs,
but it's a matter of the best *overall* way forward for Lua users.
