No worries. The wink was added on purpose.
I'd just like to see something explicit rather than subtle and easy to 
forget/mistype. "break" is nothing I'd expect to yield anything. So any
   "break bar yield/answer/give/with foo"
to me reads better than
   "break bar : foo" // reminds of assert, though
or
   "break bar (foo)"
