Sorry, I wasn't clear: I meant that the function that's doing the 
returning should be called "return-if-so-and-so-happens", literally ;) 
So when it appears in the body of another function, it's clear that it 
*may* invoke a return. Not saying it's a good idea, but just that when 
you read something like that you can expect evaluation flow to be disrupted.

Again: I'm not saying it's a good idea, please don't take this as a 
serious feature request :)
