That's the check which tells us if we broke out of the loop or if we
came to the end of the list.

As I explained before, the only way that the check matters is if the
list is empty.  With the current code I do not think we ever call this
function with an empty list, so that check is not needed.  But the code
could change I suppose and it doesn't hurt to be cautious.  On the other
hand, I'm fine with removing the check as well.
