Description

I would like to propose a new feature. the Conditional Return.

void test() {
    // Do Something
    return if [some expression]
    // Do Some More
    return if [some expression]
}

To me this reads a bit better than

void test() {
    // Do Something
    if ([some expression]) {
        return
    }
    // Do Some More
    if ([some expression]) {
        return
    }
}

I highly doubt this will be implemented, but it was just an idea I had.
