Late-breaking news: the committee has introduced a "new" statement,
borrowed from COBOL via INTERCAL:
alter <label> to come from <label>;
Under serious consideration is the computed altered come-from,
alter <label> to come from <expression>;
where "expression" should evaluate to the "value" of a numeric
label within the same function --- if it doesn't,
the effect is classified as "implementation-dependent".
