Yes, there is a good deal of stuff in that file that, in hindsight, I
would do somewhat differently. A few of the worst things you noted
could be 'fixed' trivially with gotos or compound statatements and
probably should be. I don't want a big patch for this file that's hard
to review/validate though; the return on time spent is just too small.
If anyone does want to push me on making improvements here, small
isolated/individual changes that can easily be seen to be correct are
the way to go.
