Someone might like to take a look at the way Pyrex
generates C code for try-except and try-finally blocks.
It manages to get (what I hope is) the same effect
using local variables and gotos.

It doesn't have to deal with a stack pointer, but
I think that should just be a compiler-determinable
adjustment to be done when jumping to an outer
block.
