It's now in CVS. Note that what is implemented is stupid:
it just looks for the string "return" in the alias, without
any assumption about the C syntax. So it won't work when
we have:

    alias
        "[
             "return"
         ]"

or:

    alias
        "returning"

or when the return keyword is hidden in a macro:

    alias
        "MACRO"

with:

#define MACRO   return 3;

But most of the time it should work.

I only checked that the code in Gobo (using ECMA semantics) still
works. I'll let Brian check that it also works with legacy code.
