Just to be difficult, what's the difference then between multiple exits and
a (C) switch statement?
Apart from the more elegant appearance of the case / switch, when you come
out at the end you can't say for certain where you came from (other than
what you were switching for!).
And the assembler for it is identical to the test / jump (== GOTO).
