When I’m debugging, I frequently write `@exfiltrate; asdf` to immediately escape whatever (nested) function I’m in, but take all the variables with me. However seeing the red text saying `Error` is kind of annoying because it’s actually not bad that I’m escaping. It’s what I want to do. Is there a “friendlier” way to escape a everything like an error does, but without actually throwing an error?
