While I agree that mnemonics are helpful in the right circumstances, these aren't them, not for this name. We aren't /just/ ignoring the exception, the exception is having a very real effect -- it's terminating the with block.

In case it wasn't clear (and it wasn't to me on rereading it ;) this comment was towards Nick, not Stephen. break_on reads just fine to me, although leave_on is probably better.
