While it's true the second example has less indentation depth, I  
found the first example to be easier to follow on a cursory  
examination of the code.

I don't have a problem with returning on the precondition, especially  
if it's got a nice comment ;). That makes perfect sense. What I'm  
objecting to is the use of continue. I think it makes it a bit more  
difficult to just quickly scan the code and determine what's going  
on. But that's just me.
