I like these notions very much, except for

>Second, the name could serve as tokens allowing for a single POP to pop all
>PUSH's at and lower than the corresponding named PUSH.

There is long experience with a similar facility in PL/I and some other
statement-level languages.
In

outer: do . . . ;
  . . .
  do . . . ;
  . . .
    inner: do . . . ;
   . . .
end outer ;

The 'end outer ;' staterment closes the outer do group; and implicitly it
also closes both the unlabeled do group nested in it and the inner do group
nested in the unlabeled one.

It all seems very sensible, even attractive.  Its uses have been all but
exclusively abusive.
