If you thought spaghetti code was bad, ...

in December, 1973  R. Lawrence Clark proposed a new programming 
construct: COME FROM. See https://www.fortran.com/come_from.html

What can we do in this new age of GOTOless programming do to match this 
incredible achievement?

How about an "against" statement.

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.
