I was actually pointed to a language with such a construct, but I don't
recall what it was called perhaps it was Befunge.
Anyway I've been working something like a comefrom construct. When
programming interactive behavior, you sometimes need to go back to an
earlier point in time and redo whatever you were doing - this is
particularly relevant after detecting a logical error in entered data.
Seaside / Iowa is also dealing with similar concepts although I don't think
you can programmatically go back in time.
