Hi!

There is a nice optimisation for std::merge that I cannot do because std::merge
would soon be required to be constexpr (https://reviews.llvm.org/D63063).

I could have replaced my gotos with a switch and write my state machine on it
but unfortunately switch does not get optimised away into jumps.

Here is the code comparison: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/8wq6O3

Could it maybe be possible to optimise the switch away?
I looked at gcc and it seems to produce identical code for both switch and goto
implementation: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/HzZHSb (to be fare - clang manages to
collapse two memmoves into one for the goto implementation, which gcc does not
but gcc's result is identical)
