Do you think you can extend the approach taken in this patch to prevent mis-compiles for those too?


This probably can be extended to this case, but I'd prefer to do this in separate patch later.

I can see how to insert starts, e.g. on every label which bypass declaration, but I am not sure where to put ends.
Probably it's possible, but patch will be significantly more complicated. I'd prefer to do so only when needed.
This is infrequent usecase, so it's probably not worth of additional complexity.
