Super function

# Michael J. Ryan (7 years ago)

What might be better is to extend break for named functions.

function someFn(arr) {
  return arr.map(e => {
    if(...) {
      break someFn return "...";
    }
    return e * 2;
  });
}

This way you know what you're breaking from.. super would imply one level deep.. break already has some similar constructs. In this case it must be a named function or named variable assigned a function. Not a reserved word (break while, break for, etc already works)

Note: Kotlin has this 1, but it imposes numerous restrictions on its usage. There's no way you could accomplish this without either that, pseudo-exceptions, or both.
