Q: What is the "abort cycle command"?

e.g., 


    select  count(1) < 1 as "lacks_rows";
    from    foobar
    where   blah blah
    \gset

    \if :lacks_rows

        \echo foobar lacks rows to process.
        \echo goodnight :-)

        ?????????    <--- what goes here to stop execution?

    \endif


The point is that adding many levels of if-block logic is becomes
difficult to maintain. It would be nice to stop execution without
having to nest everything one level deeper.
