I have asked the same question here before. It can be implemented using macros.

 Exceptions make sense if you leave the scope of a single function
through an exception. Within a function this additional macro-com-
plexity isn't necessary.

I consider local jump a feature, not a limitation, especially for C because we don't have stack unwinding.
I am still using try catch macros in C, because (do quit else) cannot be used as macros, unless I use something like DO QUIT ELSE.
Apart of this problem, do { quit; } else  {} and optionally do { quit; }
may be a good name for this "external jump" that I need.
The feature is pretty simple, I need a block that is on the top of for loops switch etc.. and "quit" is similar of "break" but for this top block.
