At first, I thought about that, but now I don't think that's realistic.
I'd turn the if-else into a switch, and based on the history of feedback
on this patch, we will end up having the same complains about the break
statements in that new switch and the possibility of a fall-through to
case EXPECT_DATA. At the end I would still have to add a comment explaining
that the last fall-through mark in unconditional.
