You mean the performance overhead from adding an extra internal_catch?
I doubt there's a free lunch here; adding a "return" or "return-from"
mechanism would also add overhead, and that overhead would apply to
every single funcall.  Still, it's a worthwhile experiment to implement
"return"/"return-from" and see how big the performance impact is.
