Smarty

how would do something inside the template that would exit the template but not the php script... just like php built-in function exit() or die(); without using an if, else statement? and only exit the template not the php code.

A compiler plugin that emits a php return-statement should do it.

This would be a great feature, sorry to dredge up the past.

This would only encourage poorly formed templates. There should be no reason to "exit" a template. Use an IF statement around the logic you do not want to execute. If you start exiting templates, you just create more situations that are harder to debug.
