I don't pretend to speak for Paul Long, but I prefer the style where
each function does one, and only one, thing.  In this case, you don't
get umpteen levels of if statement nesting.  Although I personally
prefer the style in which you enter each program block at the top, and
leave it at the bottom, if functions are small enough, it really isn't
that important.  (In other words, I would prefer to maintain 10 10
line functions in which the programmer has liberally used return in
the middle of the function, rather than 1 100 line function that
rigorously adheres to the rules of structured programming.)
