Ah, sorry. I think we have tihs too, but the only way to use this is:

  if $(the-mode-where-return-value-should-be-ignored)
  {
                actions ignore whatever
         {
         }
  }
  else
  {	    
         actions whatever
         {
         }
  }

I.e. you'll have to duplicate the body of actions.
