A wrapper or sub-function saves 6 lines of code - fewer lines than it
would take to write the extra function.
A wrapper is bad in any case since we would have a 3-fold return value
that needed a new enum:
  OR_DEAD
  OR_DONE
  OR_CANCELLED
which is unnecessary.  The goto_result shouldn't be re-used since it is
intended for a different purpose.
