Request #50724 returnIf command for functions and method

Description:
------------
Very often when writing a method, there is a conditional block, say for security purposes, where a special return case is required.  The code would look something like this:

if($this->someCheck($foo))
{
   return $bar;
}
// continue method

It would be great if we could just write a line such as:

returnIf($condition,$return);
// continue method

This is a nice to have, but would improve code readability.

This would add one token one would have to consider while reviewing code and not necessarily help in any way.
