=head1 LIMITATIONS

There is no way (yet) of telling the mapper to continue processing the
rules list.  We could implement labels like C< <<I<label>>> > to be
allowed before pattern expressions (but not between pattern and result),
and we could then impelement C< <<goto I<label>>> >.  And a C< <<next>>
> could be used to fall through to the next label.  All of which is
wonderful, but I want to gain some real world experience with the
current system and find a use case for gotos and fallthroughs before I
implement them.  This comment is here to solicit feedback :).
