Early Returns out of a long promise chain

DoSomethingAsync()
.then(step1)
.then(step2)
.then(step3)
.then(step4)
.then(step5)

function step2() {
  if (someCondition) {
    // I want to early return and skip the rest of the promise chain
  }

}

Is there an elegant way to do early return for a long promise chain?

I think it would be a great feature to have a native break and early return - the existing solutions are exceedingly clunky. Can this be opened as a feature request?

For exceptions (unexpected conditions), you can already throw to terminate the chain early. For most other cases, nesting one level works fine. If you have something that doesn’t fit the above two solutions feel free to discuss, but given that async/await is just around the corner, it may not be worth the effort (IMO)
