I would simplify even further using only

        #! /bin/sh -e
        false && echo one
        if :; then
          false && echo two
        fi

instead of exists.

Also, it might be already emphasized in the documentation,
but if not, I think it is noteworthy to point that set -e
is not passed to sub shells.
