No, there is no way to make the pointers "float". Think about it. If
you, for example get the pointer to the last executable statement in
a procedure and then modify your code by throwing away this statement
then where this pointer should point to? What if you add several
additional statements? The only way to assure that the pointer points
to the thing you want is to find the "current" last executable.
