Yes, I agree that the 'goto' statement can make things easier when a 
function exits from multiple locations and some common work such as 
cleanup has to be done, as well as introducing complexity to reading the 
code. So per the coding style documentation, "If there is no cleanup 
needed then just return directly", which can make code more readable I 
think :)

But I have no strong opinion on this, I can drop this patch if you still 
think this is unnecessary. Thanks for your review and comments.
