Ah, tricky. I guess the right answer then is "use return or exit as appropriate".

@chepner: actually return can also be used from a "sourced" file ( . or source command), but is that then a script?

"Return" is ambiguous here, as the return statement can only be used to return from a function, not a script. To be precise, you need to use the exit statement to return from the script.
