Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Assembler and Ruby are two completely
different pairs of shoes.

In this case "return" or "break" are far more appropriate IMHO.  throw
/ catch would also work (module caveats that have been mentioned) but
I always feel reluctant about using those when they are not needed
since they resemble exceptions too closely.
