I just added such a suggestion, right before I saw yours, which I  
called \alternatovecontinue. But perhaps \finalalternative,  
\alternative final, or something.

I think it might be added with the other alternative - but that is  
really an implementation detail.

I also found it it tricky to do cases like (pseudocode)
  \alternative 1 3 {...}
  \alternative 2 {...}
  \alternative 4 {...}
