This is very compact and not a goto or multiple return in sight.  I'm
presuming the compiler will compile this such that any one function
returning a fail will immediately cause the function to return false without
calling any further functions.  Is this a reasonable assumption, and will it
hold true for any (Ansi) C compiler?
