For my eyes, many uses of snd_assert with direct 'return VALUE' are more
"sexy", easy understandable and smaller. But, as mentioned, when goto is
used to change the code flow, we end up with a compiler warning. It should 
be eliminated.

I have no strong objections to accept this change as you proposed. Thank 
you for your work.
