Adhemaral,
The reason I did the rewriting is two-fold. First, it
looks more clean as there aren't now two branches
immediately following each other. Second, it can be
performance beneficial as we are saving one branch
on entry for the most of the cases (we take it only if
the first iteration is a partial iteration). But, of course,
the performance benefit was not my concern here.
However, this is one instruction less anyway.
