There's another Jackpot transformation called "if statements that can be
simplified".

What it is finding in the grizzly framework source is structures that
look like;

    public boolean isOpen(){
        if (selector != null){
            return selector.isOpen();
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

And, it suggests to transform them into:

    public boolean isOpen(){
        if (selector != null){
            return selector.isOpen();
        }
        return false;
    }

I'd like to hear others opinions on this "simplification". I don't know
as if I find the transformation any simpler.

In fact if I were to transform the initial implementation I would do
something like:

    public boolean isOpen(){
        boolean result = false;
        if (selector != null){
            result = selector.isOpen();
        }
        return result;
    }
