This code was moved straight out of name_rev(). As such, we inherited the "goto" to jump from an if into an else-if. We also inherited the fact that "nothing to do -- return NULL" is handled last. Rewrite the function to first handle the "nothing to do" case. Then we can handle the conditional allocation early before going on to populate the struct. No need for goto-ing.
