[ruby-core:84289] [Ruby trunk Feature#4840] Allow returning from require

Issue #4840 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas).


Could someone please explain me what is the current status of this feature? I thought I would be able to return from the top-level when requiring a file, but it still seems to be an invalid syntax to this day. Am I missing something?

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)
