I would like to find out the costs that are associated with the se/se
structure of functions.

1. Increases level of nesting in code, making it potentially more complex.
2. Requires adding flag variables which have to be tracked, making it
more complex.
3. Special conditions can become embedded in code rather than being readily
apparent.
