The original position was that Tels said that `return` is always
superfluous and often slower, so I quoted Abelson/Sussman at him.

I don’t know where you found any dogma about always using
`return` in my mails. My (possibly just as mistaken) impression
is that are much more dogmatic about avoiding `return` than I am
about using it.
