I do disagree here tbh. The goto jump into it the if part of an if-else
seems pretty nasty.
I also don't know why this should be confusing the logic. There's a
single function that is called in two places and it is declared directly
atop it's only caller. Additionally, recognizing a single name of a
function as being the same in two places is way easier then recognizing
that a multi-line pattern is the same in two places.
