The structured macro paper referenced on the K wiki page also
seems rather interesting. A powerful macro facility needs to
be well integrated with the language (much like Lisp or
Scheme's macros) so that you can write for instance

critical_section(lock) {

bar:
...
if (cond1) break;
...
if (cond2) goto foo;
...
if (cond3) goto bar;
...
if (cond4) return; // from enclosing function
...
}
...
foo:


do you mean like C++:

do {
critical_object critical_instance();




}

?

Just wondering how much of this we want to roll on on our own.
