Using logic similar to GeneratorType.next(), a `breaks` closure could effectively return an Optional<Void>.
Reaching the end or a `continue`-equivalent statement would return .Some(Void).
Exiting via the `break`-equivalent statement would return .None and signal the end of looping

Making the construct look right, however, sounds like compiler magic.
