Abort,Halt,Stop,Exit???

often in programming, a statement like the following appears:

if condition then stop 

(remember fortran?)

using Exit[] or Quit[] for the 'stop' will terminate Mma. (not good)

using Return[expr], Break[], Throw[] for the 'stop' might go under the 
	appropriate conditions.

using Goto[Label[some label]] for the 'stop' with "some label" at the 'end'
	could work.

any comments?
sincerely,
