It's not totally clear to me.  Could you provide an example usage?  I'm
wondering, how you want to distinguish returns and exception return
points.  There could be an arbitrary amount of these in any method.
Currently I can only imagine begin (= entry) and end of a method
declaration.  Apart from that currently I don't see practical uses of
this.
