I don't really see how this "cleans up" the code (though it could
definitely use some cleanup).  All it seems to do is rename some variables
so that they have underscores in their names, and replace a lot of error
test conditionals of the form:

return = function(arg);
if (return == NULL) {
}

with the form:

if ((return = function(arg)) == NULL) {
}

Which I actually find considerably harder to read.

Am I missing something?
