I don't like the "upd:" thing. Let me try to rephrase the addition:
We would also create a loop in any cases where @c is only indirectly
referenced by @to. Prevent this by returning false if @c is found
(by breadth-first search) anywhere in the whole subtree of @to.
Also, even though the coding style says 80 characters per line, the
existing comment seems to use only 70 characters. Let's try to stay
consistent here, otherwise it looks a bit odd.

The functional change looks good to me.
