Re: [julia-users] Lack of an explicit return in Julia, heartache or happiness?

[Rafael Fourquet]

And indeed, as Scott points, a function can switch from using the
short form to the long form only because the number of characters
grows a bit, which is uncorelated to the functionalness. Having the
short form and long form disagree on the "default" returned value
would increase the risk to introduce a bug each time a conversion to
long form is made.
