Ooops...I meant "and I had not thought"...

As I say though I wondered about breaks at first, but then decided that 
bytecodes were the only general way to get the gotos.  I do have a nice 
little assembler and class file writer now for ANTLR that, while not 
completely general, it's damn small.  Assembler and .class file writer 
are each about 600 lines.  Could be useful for users of antlr as well 
as the tool itself.
