If you'd like to define the backend like this, it's the easiest way to compile to C; we're just repurposing C as a general-purpose assembler: https://glouw.com/2023/11/07/Switch.html

I believe MIT-scheme took it a step further with gnu extensions which allowed you to take the address of a label like &&label, which allowed for function pointers: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html
