Not sure if it's applicable, but the detect statement covers all
control structures:

  http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~mlh/python/detect.html

I don't have any complete documentation on it at the moment, but the
partition.py example shows how it works. The original statement had
somewhat different syntax, with separate cleanup-code in a code block
after the labels (strings in the Python version). In my implementation
I have simply put the cleanup code in the same code block as the label
(before the label).
