You can of course use setjmp & longjmp in C but depending on how
many levels up you jump they could be more trouble than they're
worth.  I think I've only ever used them once.

Nonsense.

[...]

setjmp and longjmp have a clearly defined implementation model
(obviously not in ISO C, but so in implementation practice).

What I think you mean is that setjmp/longjmp have a natural and
straightforward implementation strategy that works on many
hardware platforms and in many C implementations.  That strategy
is not ubiquitous, and TTBOMK is not defined anywhere except
implicitly by the code that implements it.  Described perhaps,
but that isn't the same as a definition.
