Not only that. By clever branch factoring, you can possibly get yourself
rid of lots of deep levels. As in:

static void blah(void)
{
if (foo) {
bar;
bar2;
} else {
if (this) {
that;
that2;
} else {
bad day;
bad day2;
}
}
}

xfrmd:

static void blah(void)
{
if (foo) {
bar;
bar2;
return;
}
if (this) {
that;
that2;
return;
}
/* yay, got rid of two levels of indent! */
good day;
good day2;
}
