digitalmars.D.learn - returning a break?

Hello
as I'm starting to learn this great language I've it a wall.
After some analise's I decided to go with a switch case, approach to solve
my problem, so now I have one condition that if met will break the switch,
then how can I create a function the will summarise that check and simply
return a break(case 1), opposed to write on all case's the same code (case
2,3)?

to clarify it:

switch( int_case )
    {
      case 1, 0:
        Stdout( "Print 1" ).newline;
        function_that_breaks ( int_to_verify );
      case 2:
        Stdout( "Print 2" ).newline;
        if ( int_to_verify != 0 )
        {
          break;
        }
      case 3:
        Stdout( "Print 2" ).newline;
        if ( int_to_verify != 0 )
        {
          break;
        }
     }

How should this function be setup?
function_that_breaks ( int )

using "return break;" doesn't work.
Thanks

I'm not sure what language you're coming from.  Returning flow control 
structures doesn't sound like a common feature.

Just structure "case 1, 0:" like "case 2:" or "case 3:".

case 1, 0:
    Stdout("print 1").newline;
    if(function_that_breaks(int_to_verify))
        break;
case 2:

*shrug*

Well maybe you are right. Python :-P

Thanks, that is in deed a nice solution.

You can't return a break in Python either..
