> cleanup in every single failure case

you're only tempted to clean up [fully] in every single failure case if you don't know how to implement cascading gotos or the arrow pattern.

I'll be honest that you are in the minority here.

goto is widely considered an anti-pattern and so is the arrow pattern.
