I saw in the GNU status report that "C has been extended to support
nested functions, nonlocal gotos, and taking the address of a label."

Will there be any way to have an array of label-pointers and dispatch to the  
one I want?  (eg, "goto label_array[x]".)  (I basically need a switch that does  
no bounds checking, for a really speed-intensive loop.)
