There are 2 modification of this patch. The first one is about a typo,
it is correct.

But I doubt your second modification is proper. The line removed in your
patch is,
> - * continue_at() also, critically, is a macro that returns the
calling function.
> - * There's good reason for this.
> - *

I think this is exactly what original author wants to say. It does not
mean return a value, it means return to the calling function. And the
bellowed lines explains the reason.

Yes, this modification is good.
