This is the "easy-return" syntax switch.

All method and function bodies now return null, unless you use the  
return-ejector.

def getObjectFromURI(uri) {
     return introducer.sturdyFromURI(uri).getRcvr()
}

Before easy-return, the rule was that the result guard is void by  
default, so writing an explicit result guard enabled returning a  
value; this is why your code has ":any".
