On t'other hand, in C, I'd unhesitatingly break the "single
exit point" rule, because I prefer the rule "don't screw
the next programmer" (which is usually me) - clarity is
more important than bureaucracy.

I agree that clarity is more important than bureaucracy, but I stick to the
"single exit point" technique because, in my view, it aids clarity.

I'm fairly certain however that you're not a believer in the "my
country, right or wrong" approach to programming.
