Would that make a difference for whether this patch is OK or not?
I also have no problems leaving the switch expanding code in stmt.c,
and just adding new code for switch lowering as a GIMPLE pass. That
way (of least resistance) SJLJ exception dispatches can continue to be
expanded as decision trees. Just tell me what you want.
