Non-standard indentation for the new line.  But at this point the
condition is becoming complex enough that it is best split into
multiple if statements anyway.

Overly long line.  And this could really use a comment as well.

Why is the iter de-constified?

In general I'm not a huge fan of the encoded magic here, but I'll
need to take a closer look at the caller if I can come up with
something better.
