In Lua, we favor generic and powerful constructs. Actually, a 'goto'
would be almost perfect.

Can we have computed go to? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goto#Computed_GOTO

(I am joking, but it would actually fit quite well with the current proposal.

break (n) :label1: :label2:

anyone?)

Or if we can't have that, how about "COMEFROM" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMEFROM)?
