Oww.  I remember that.  It makes my head hurt.

You could even go further:

    Object >> valuedEscaper: aBlock
       ^ aBlock value: [ :finalValue | ^finalValue ]

    ...

    found := self valuedEscaper: [:escape |
           1 to: 10 do: [ :x |
               x = 3 ifTrue: [escape value: true].
           ]
    false].

Oh geez.  I think I just reinvented continuations. :)
