switch statement often compile to jump tables. Or at least, they did
in C - I've no idea what the D compiler does. So instead of

    Label a = label2;
    goto a;

    label1:
        /* stuff */

    label2:
        /* stuff */

you do

    enum Label { label1, label2 };
    Label a = label2;
    switch (a)
    {
    case label1:
        /* stuff */

    case label2:
        /* stuff */
    }

It all boils down to the same thing.
