Re: How to stop (w/o exception)

It seems to me that [#stop] is what you want. It's true that this
works by throwing an exception, but this is technically the way it has
to work to abort FTL processing at an arbitrary point in the page,
since this involves jumping out of control structures that are
arbitrarily deeply nested on the java side. I don't think there's any
other way to jump out...

Basically, if you explicitly catch freemarker.core.StopException and
do nothing to handle it, then #stop will basically stop gracefully, or
at least as gracefully as is technically possible AFAICS.
