How to run until some line in delve?

Question

Say I have a code like this

   362:
=> 363:     for _, header := range MyHeaders {
   364:         b.applyHeader(header)
   365:     }
   366:
   367:     if b.headers != nil {
   368:         req.Header = b.headers
(dlv)

I would like to skip the loop at line 363 and jump to line 367.

Is there a simple command for this in delve, similar to gdb's until (mentioned here)

I could achieve this by adding a breakpoint to line 367, then continue, and then delete the breakpoint. But I do not want to create/delete a breakpoint every time I need to do this.
