Not sure about intuitiveness of early exit, but we have an example of
the converse: bash (and other shells). Namely, by default it executes
all the commands, exits with the exit status of the last command
executed. But you can `set -e`, and then first failing command will
stop processing. But then, there do exist means to suppress failure
(e.g. `badCommand && true`), which GDB doesn't seem to have.
