I fail to grasp the unpredictability of "the last expression evaluated
in the body of a function is its return value".
It couldn't work in Python because statements aren't expressions,
therefore I think
def foo():
if cond:
3
else:
4
would break (given if:else: doesn't return a value, the function
couldn't have a return value), but in languages where everything is an
expression (where if:else: does return a value) there's nothing
unpredictable about it.
