you are right about the "this"
For Get_nesting_if, so you have to check against that in the caller,
right? The interface is just awkward. At the minimum, I would assert
in the break. My rule of thumb is, anytime one has an unnatural
interface, trouble will follow. For example, return NULL means what?
If SC_NODE * is Null and *is_else is true, what does that mean?...
