This looks ok to me, thank you for your effort!  Nevertheless, I don't like
increasing depth as much as number of lines.  The
more-than-3-levels-of-indentation[1] warning is not always right, but this 4
levels of indentation is not making me so exciting.

What do you think about adding put_continue label and using it, not only here,
but also above part?  For example:

It omits three lines.
