Modern GCC can defend against these kinds of problems. If I introduce a
"goto fail" bug somewhere in Python, I get a nice warning:
../Objects/abstract.c: In function ‘PyObject_Type’:
../Objects/abstract.c:35:5: warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard...
[-Wmisleading-indentation]
     if (o == NULL)
     ^~
../Objects/abstract.c:37:9: note: ...this statement, but the latter is
misleadingly indented as if it is guarded by the ‘if’
         2 + 3;
         ^

This is not to say that simply bracing everything isn't the right way to
go.
