It's unattractive.

I provided two alternate means to accomplish the same thing elsewhere in this

"Unattractive"? ... seriously?

Your suggestions were to quite seriously molest the code, reordering, adding extra scopes, inverting logic, nonsense statements like `do {} while(0)`, using labels and goto's which doesn't marry well with general control flow and RAII type things... sorry; but "unattractive"? That might be the most bizarre thing I've ever heard you say! ;)
