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

~~~ruby
unless defined? GitoriousConfig
  # tons of lines here
end
~~~

And I would it to look like

~~~ruby
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)
