Yeah. I can do that. Thanks for the comment.

While on this, I also removed  the duplicate_error and procedure_error
goto statements, because IMHO, using goto statements is not an elegant
way. I used boolean flags to do the job instead. See the attached and
let me know what you think.

Just for completion, I also attached Vignesh's latest patch v3 as-is,
in case anybody wants to review it.
