I tend to agree with you, but for the sake of
completeness:

In methods you can do:

meth { |a|
  a.isEven.if({ ^a });
  // several lines of processing
  ^result
}

These guys want to do the same thing in a function:

meth = { |break, a|
  a.isEven.if({ break.value(a) });
  // processing
  result
};

meth.block(someValue)

I know, it's nothing that can't be done by other
means, but this is what they want...
