You can resolve this in basically every language by reworking your code in smaller pieces, and simply returning from a loop. Jumping left and right should only be signalling that you are Doing It Wrong (tm)

Can you do that without causing performance degradation e.g. through cache thrashing though? Fortran performance can vary significantly when you move stuff around.
