Works great in theory ;) Especially if you have exceptions.
It's just not practicle/readable to always code like that in real life,
though. I would tend to reserve such things for block-local catastrophes,
however; if the block ever gets modified an early return might screw
something else up.

Yowzah-I've found that w/o exceptions that having a wad of nested if's/etc.
tend to make things _more_ unreadable.

It'll stop the program ;)
