They are equivalent, but it took me a minute to convince myself ;). They
are only equivalent because *either* ctx->m or ctx->to_include is
non-NULL.

So it wouldn't be the case that ctx->m being set and the subsequent
midx_contains_pack() call returning zero would cause us to check the
to_include list, because to_include will be NULL if ctx->m isn't.

Anyway, that makes them equivalent, so I'm happy to clean it up and
decrease the nested-ness.

Sure.
