yield return and return

Question

I often find myself writing sth. like this:

if (condition) { yield return whatever; yield break; }

I find it quite verbose to have to use two yield statements for the standard paradigm "return one value and exit method". I know I can just return new List<type>() { whatever }; but that would defeat the benefit of using yield in the rest of the method.

Is there a more elegant way to yield return a value and exit the method?

This is probably your only other option.

if (condition) { yield return 1; } else { yield return 2; yield return 3; }

Hm, since I like to exit early, this seems like no real alternative.
