Sure, I saw it. Despite the *goodness* and thoroughness of his reply (as all of his are!), I still come to a different conclusion than JS on the merits of this feature request. I still think the Rb IDE would be more programmer friendly and that it should generate an error - it IS an error.
I respect your right to disagree, and your point is valid, but I feel a need to pick one nit -- failing to return true may always be an error in YOUR code, but it's generally not in my code. I sometimes omit the return statement intentionally; since it's done intentionally, based on the documented behavior of the language, and has the effect I want, it is not an error.
However, I'm fairly willing to admit that it's a bad habit, even if it's not an error. In that case, making it a compiler error wouldn't be terrible.
