Labeled Blocks (Score:1)

As a side note you may wish to electively reduce the penalty of whatever "long" is if its broken up with labelled blocks. They're not necessarily *as* good as breaking it into smaller functions, but for cases where you would otherwise call the function only once I consider it an "acceptable" alternative.

  I don't know how to identify labelled blocks without PPI. That being said, given that the "long method" code smell turns out to be rather bogus, I'm not overly inclined to go much further there. Interesting point, though.
