Something like against <iterable of callable objects> throw <iterable of arguments>? This doesn't really capture the same weird behavior of COME FROM, but it is a starter. How about a "without" statement? without <identifier [, identifier ...] [raise <exception>]: <suite> Within the <suite>Any mention of any identifier in the list raises the specified or default (WithoutError) exception.
