I like what you are doing as a result.

But I think the implementation has room to improve.
I don't like deep and messy "else" statement.

I attach a patch which I modify base on yours. I hope it is
easier to read. Care to review it?

Yes, I much prefer like this. Thanks.

But there is something I would like to check but I can't do that now.
I'll come back on it later.
