There are different guidelines out there about where and how many return statements to use in a function, e.g. return only once at the end of the function or return early and often. Which one makes for the most readable code?

Why you should use Boost.MultiIndex (Part II)
by David Gross
From the article:
A few weeks ago, I posted the first part of this article, where I explained the advantages of Boost.MultiIndex over the standard containers when you need to have multiple views on a set of data.
In this second part, I would like to talk about the benefits you can get from using Boost.MultiIndex as a single-index hash table, as a replacement of
std::unordered_map.One interesting and powerful aspect of Boost.MultiIndex is that it allows you to add an index of type T, where T is different from the stored type. And it is more frequent and useful that you could think.
