It seems improbable, but I could look for that. Unfortunately, I don't
see a way to deal with arbitrarily nested ifs. Basically, the control
flow from one return doesn't go to the other. It goes from the return to
the outside of the function. I guess something could be done by renaming
all of the returns to function calls, but that tends to make a mess. It
could be done to see if such cases are worth considering though.
Another similar and popular construction is:
if (...) {
...
goto l;
}
l:
