/* We have just added an invariant. We can proceed down the line, gradually narrowing the number of cases we need to deal with instead of branching. You can sort of do this in Elixir but it requires you to name all of the intermediate steps. This makes control flow difficult to read. You look at a big Scheme codebase and they end up simulating this construct with call/cc or something. You can't do that in Elixir, though. */
