I do not think what you want exists. It makes sense, as a class is not a
procedural list of commands to execute, but a collection of resources, so a
way to "exit early" does not really exist. If you just want to avoid the
extra indentation and potentially misplaced closing bracket, how about this
pattern:
class somemodule {
if $load_module = true {
include somemodule::load
}
}
class somemodule::load {
// potentially very long module
}
