in reply to looking for a good idiom: return this if this is true

A while ago I was going to write Return::Hyper as an excercise for learning perlguts. I never got there.

With return($level, $thingy) you get

sub return_if { if ($_[0]){ return(2, $_[0]); } }
Maybe someone with more, err, mojo can do it?
