Yesterday Xavier Wang brought to mind an alternative.
I'm missing a reaction to that:

"maybe using a local variable scope for goto destination is better than 
define a (whatever) label statement."

In my words: Use "local mark" instead of "label mark" or "@mark:"
I must admit that I have not thought about whether that is semantically 
clever.
What are thepros and cons?
