I'm sure the intent is that code like that should be legal.

Section 15 of the proposed standard says:

A goto ... statement can be used to transfer control out of a try-block or
handler, but not into one.

So this would be illegal:

main()
{
        try { /* some statements */ }
        catch(...)
        {
yyy:    ; // some statements
        }
        goto yyy;
        return 0;
}

But what if you are already inside the try-block or handler?  Such as this:

main()
{
        try { /* some statements */ }
        catch(...)
        {
yyy:    ;  // some statements
        goto yyy;
        }
        return 0;
}

Is this considered transferring control into the handler?  Comments?
