Consider this 
    FOOBAR: try {
        serve();
    }
    catch (Error::Return){
        goto FOOBAR; # redo FOOBAR? whatever
    }
    catch (Error::OutOfBounds){
        new_point();
    }

I don't see a need for new syntaxt, long live the goto ;)

    Ah, but I mean go back to exactly where you were.

    So for example 

    for (0..20) {
lob Argh if some_error_condition();
}

    could be bounced back to the same position in the loop.

    I have no idea how this could be implemented. I just think it would be kewl.
