DOCPATCH: does STORE need to return anything and if so what?

I had thought that the return value of assignment was returned
by STORE but I appear to be mistaken, and return value of assignment
is accomplished by a FETCH on the LHS after the assignment happens.

Has it ever been thus?  The documentation is currently misleading,
since it includes examples of STORE gratuitously returning values.

The attached patch rectifies the situation, unless STORE once needed
to return the stored value, in which case we sould say when the change
occurred.
