Yep. In fact, INTERCAL uses labelled COMEFROM, e.g. `COMEFROM foo`, in analogy to labelled GOTO like `GOTO foo`.
If you think that's silly, there are languages which have an unlabelled COMEFROM, which doesn't even specify where it's going to take over control from! This symbol is usually written `catch` or `except`.
