And "goto" could be spelt "next" too?  That would make sense to me,
but the semantics of "last odds" or "redo odds" escape me.  Perhaps
"last odds" would me "evaluate the block labeled by odds, then exit
the switch" and "redo odds" would me "re-evaluate this case, then jump
to the block labelled odds".
