Really, I disagree.  "return" is superfluous, its sole
role is to break control flow.  It's just a matter of
habit, one gets used to it very quickly.

In the example we are discussing about

        return;

I would argue that what is explicit should be implicit
(return), and what is implicit should be explicit (the
() value).

        undef;
