Yeah, I see what you mean.  I wasn't talking about the actual break
keyword, but rather having a "break" in execution.  Basically
execution of the current frame stops and returns; loop bodies aren't
handled in their own execution frames but effectively it's the same
idea.

So, a little namespace collision between us there on the words break
and return.  Regardless, for the only real use case I had for module
breaking flow control, I have a better solution anyway.  Thanks again
for your feedback.
