Yes. - Can this be an usual consequence if you apply information from
the section “7) Centralized exiting of functions” in the document
“coding-style.rst” a bit more?

My update suggestion is only one line “bigger” in this case, isn't it?
I propose an other source code layout so that a bit smaller executable
object code could be achieved.
Do find such a software design direction feasible?
