Exiting a method early from another method

[Randy Schmidt]

Hi there,

I'm working through some refactoring and part of that is pulling logic
out into small methods. One of these areas is used to exit early from
the method and I would like to pull it out into its own method as
well, however, then I can't use it to exit early.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Here is the code with a lot of the cruft removed:

Thank you!

Hey Randy, since this is an error that should not happen under normal
circumstances, why don't you raise an exception?

I'd rename the method non_checkable and say `return if non_checkable`.
