I'm not sure this is terribly useful. Compilers have the ability to
analyze the underlying code and make sensible decisions for how to
implement either form. So the right metric here is does this make the
code cleaner/easier to understand. With just 3 clauses it's hard (for
me) to make the case that it is considerably cleaner.
