>The same goes for programmers who insists that you shall never have more than one Return within a function. Personally I used to follow this rule, but I have changed my mind. I now often have some early returns, usually after parameter and environment checking, to return error values, and one late return with the real return value. I always avoid "intermediate returns".
That's pretty much the same rule as in some other areas of life: either just test the waters, or swim to the other end. Very impractical to bail out in the middle of it, even when feasible. And in some situations, may be taken as very rude, too. All the more reason to agree with you on this.
