OK.  If we had a mechanism for generating artificial variables in the
frontend, this magic could probably be made much easier (*), but this is good
as well.

(*) essentially, replace
    CALL SUB(*)
by
    t = SUB  ! this is the internal representation, not user code
    SELECT CASE (t)
       ...
    END SELECT
Currently we build the SELECT in the FE, but the connection between it and the
call is established only during code generation.
