The solution D uses is allowing the programmer to declare the name of the
return value like, we could do something like:

public function method()
    return ($result) ($result <= 10 && $result >= 0) {
    return 5;
}

If you didn't need the result, were working with a scope variable, or maybe
even a param taken by reference:

public function method()
   return ($expr) {
   /* ... */
}

I'm not keen on __CONSTANTS__, it's long, and if you have the choice to
name the variable you have the option of making the expression ...
expressive ...

Cheers
