I agree it's harder to grasp, but only slightly, and I think the decrease in redundancy is worth it (although that's evidently subjective). I don't agree with the comment on error handling; it's not clear to me when/if this function will be refactored, but I don't know if gotos have complicated refactoring st in the past, so maybe you're right. - Michael
