There are several Feedback requests pertaining to this issue:
vivheyfz,bbabwtah,hfqqxymn,urvbevct.
It arises when a function returning an array fails to do so due to a
programming error, and it is acknowledged that nil is the intended
return in this situation.
Yet the compiler doesn't flag a nil object exception or even the
catch-all "You must use the return value...", so the result is a crash
(unexpected quit) at runtime.
The debugger is aware of the nil return, so shouldn't this be caught
therein?
Best,
Jack
