You're absolutely right! We used to have a poor-man's implicit return before
you added that
feature to PS, and the definition of λ includes a vestige of it. Yikes, I'm
surprised I
didn't know that. Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

I think the only bug preventing us from moving forward is the syntax error
where THROW
gets treated as an expression in a PROGN. Can you confirm (or deny :)) that
one?
