Hey Dan.

I didn't direct anyone to do anything, but that's
why I added Julia to cc's.

Anyway, I think these are very equivalent style to
the repeated:

	ret = foo();
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
...
	ret = bar();
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

	return ret;

and people seem to prefer changing those.

cheers, Joe
