As Markus suggested, adding

+// Options: --no-includes --include-headers

would be useful.  The processing of .c files does not need to see header
files for this issue.  At the same time, if the problem occurs in a header
files, it could be useful to treat it.

A when forall is needed under the when strict.  The idea here is that when
the goto is taken, we need to check all of the possible execution paths to
see if there is any reference to n.

All of the rules that involve break and goto need to be checked for this
issue.
