Actually, by my reading of the standard it should be possibly to implement
thease without resorting to the C "computed goto" extension. Shouldn't be
too hard to transform them into select/goto. This avoids the problem of
what happens if you assign to a kind=4 integer on a 64-bit machine.
Anyhow, this is getting OT.

Last time we discussed this, I seem to remember thet a temporary solution
was to just say "don't do this unless you have gmp installed". Obviously we
need to find a proper solution though.
