I did not want to change the structure of the code when moving it around as
you noted in another email that helps on reviewing.
And having the exact same conditions in an if and then return instead
of continue
makes me think it is easier to review than if I also introduce that shortening?
I can do so in a follow up.

That's a good idea. I'll definitely add that. But as said above, I
also feel that this
should rather go in a follow up patch as it twists the logic and this
patch is all
about moving the code.
