{
    if (A) { B; return; }
    if (C) { D; return; }
    if (E) { F; return; }
    G; return;
}

is efficiently replaced by

{ return; }

since the computed values B, D, F, and G are ignored.  Unless, the
symbols A through G are supposed to indicate arbitrary expressions
that have side effects such as assignments or function calls in them.
