           Summary: Please swap steps 2 and 3. I was hunting through the
                    spec to find a case where step 2 would have an effect
                    and step 3 would throw. It appears it can never
                    happen. It would be clearer to have all steps that
                    throw up front and steps with side effects afterw

Please swap steps 2 and 3. I was hunting through the spec to find a case where
step 2 would have an effect and step 3 would throw. It appears it can never
happen. It would be clearer to have all steps that throw up front and steps
with side effects afterwards.
