This is fine, but just watch out because getting clever with a last if
statement is a common anti-pattern.  For example, you often see it where
people do success handling instead of failure handling.  And it leads
to static checker bugs, and makes the code slightly more subtle.

Argh!!!!  Success handling.  Always do failure handling, never success
handling.

The rest of your comments I agree with, though.
