It'll work in practice as well, I have used this pattern succesfully for
years as part of some complex rulesets.

But there is no reason to insert anything between the skips, they
notionally are part of the same single high-level operation consisting
in branching into a group when any one in a set of predicates matches.
Think of it the way a compiler would generate code for a complex boolean
expression using a combination of elementary tests and jumps.
