I think this is something the optimizer could use to eliminate an
"ordinary" return that happens to be followed by a call to a known
set of something elses.  So it might well help things like switch
statements and cascaded function calls and tail recursion (and maybe
invocation of autoloaded functions, a la goto &foo).  But I doubt we
should go out of our way to introduce special syntax for it.
