== Description
return_bang implements non-local exits for methods. As a bonus, you also get
exception handling that ignores standard Ruby's inflexible begin; rescue;
ensure; end syntax.
Use return_bang to exit back to a processing loop from deeply nested code, or
just to confound your enemies *and* your friends! What could possibly go
wrong?
== Features
* Implements non-local exits for methods
* Nestable
* Named and stack-based exit points, go exactly where you need to be
* Full exception handling support through raise!, rescue! and ensure!
* Ignores pesky ensure, rescue and require blocks for when you really, really
need to return
== Problems
* Not enough use of continuations
== Synopsis
require 'return_bang/everywhere'
def some_method
deeply_nested
# never reached
end
def deeply_nested
return!
end
return_here do
some_method
end
# resumes here
== Testimonials

18 failures, 7 errors" -- drbrain
