I'd be happier if the conditional wrapping on the truncated handler exited that block with some kind of an unconditional break or an unconditional jump out of the block, just so it makes it obvious that the conditional wrapping is window dressing. Why isn't it being handled as a function call anyway? This is like some prehistoric implementation of function calling. It's a neat trick, I'll grant you that, but just why?
