Break out for cache

[Troy]

Is there a way to break out of processing the regular order of
functions in the before or configure functions? I am not finding one
beside a halt() or a redirect_to(), or even a die(). All of which I do
not want to do.

The idea is that I will check if a page is cached and skip regular
processing. Ideally, I would like to go to after().

I have a good function for creating a cache in after if the page was
not cached yet, but I would really like to use the cache as early as
possible in app. I tried just calling after() in the before function,
but that does not seem to skip the regular processing of functions.

I see in the core limonade.php run() how the before and after are
called. Would just like a way to drop out of that and display the
cached page.

Being able to do this before I configure things like a database
connection would be the best, like a before_configure().
Any ideas?
I suppose I could just not run limonade if the page is cached, but I
think some processing control function or flag might be nice.
