I don't think exiting the loop that way is the right thing to do, as it
always return nil, even though the #+end_ might be in the list.
Moreover, there are other parts of the file that should also be fixed.

I think there are 3 options here:

1. Effectively stop everything, but at least throw an informative error.
2. Consider the #+end_ as normal text after all, and resume the loop.
3. Consider #+end_ as normal text and message the user about his syntax
   problem.

I'm not sure yet what's the best way to go, but I think option 2 is
sufficient.
