Faster way to stop than stop()?

[the ether]

The speed at which the motor stops when stop() is called is governed by the previously defined acceleration setting. Is there a faster way to stop - other than setting the acceleration to an incredibly high number?

I have microswitches that designate the end of a track. If the device being powered by the motor hits one of these, it must stop absolutely immediately.

motor.setSpeed(0);

will do it.

I just saw another post about a similar problem. According to that, I need to also call motor.moveTo(motor.currentPosition); after setting the speed to zero.
