Then a keyword `__DATA__` can be added to explicitly mark the beginning of `DATA`, what do you think?

I have a situation where there is some code in Gitorious like:

unless defined? GitoriousConfig
  # tons of lines here
end

And I would it to look like

return if defined? GitoriousConfig

#tons of lines here

It would be great to allow return from a required file or some other keyword (break, etc or a new one)
