 When the end of a block is reached without a jump or trap aborting it, then the following steps are performed.
 
-1. Let :math:`n` be the number of values on the top of the stack.
+1. Pop all values :math:`\val^\ast` from the top of the stack.
 
-2. Pop the values :math:`\val^n` from the stack.
+2. Assert: due to :ref:`validation <valid-instr-seq>`, the label :math:`L` is now on the top of the stack.
 
-3. Assert: due to :ref:`validation <valid-instr-seq>`, the label :math:`L` is now on the top of the stack and has arity :math:`n`.
+3. Pop the label from the stack.
 
-4. Pop the label from the stack.
+4. Push :math:`\val^\ast` back to the stack.
 
-5. Push :math:`\val^n` back to the stack.
