Once you're making up new meanings for control-flow keywords, what would be
wrong with

    {
        /* yada */
        if (something) goto bottom;
        /* yada */
    }
    bottom:;

or

    []() {
        /* yada */
        if (something) return;
        /* yada */
    }();

? C++ already has plenty of ways to spell "goto this place" and/or "break
out of this level of nesting"; I don't think we need more.

"goto case" and "goto default", on the other hand, should probably Just
Work. Try to get buy-in from a compiler vendor. I wouldn't want to waste
paper verbiage on them before showing that they can be useful in practice.
