I find a large nested error checking "if-then-elsif" distracting
from keeping a focus on the overall algorithm

Hard to explain, but I find a single line "if-then"
statement more difficult to read because I find myself
visually parsing it several times just to make sure
that I am not missing anything squeezed between the
semi-colons.

For a single line, such as the current "exit-loop-when"
statement, I can parse all the information I need in one
glance.

Remember my focus is on readability which, if I recall
correctly, is a large part of maintenence, which is a
large part of the discussions for the creation of Ada
20+ years ago.
