The "if" behavior is weird, so it's good to avoid it if you can, but
sometimes it really is the only way to do something. And at the top of
that "If Is Evil" page it says:
The only 100% safe things which may be done inside "if" in a location
context are:
* return ...;
* rewrite ... last;
And in your example, you were doing a return inside an "if" which is
noted as being safe in a location context.
