Don’t get me wrong, but how do you come to the conclusion “We need [paraphrased: a distinct] return token”?
I mean, all other languages do without it, no? I don’t want to say, we want to be like others,
but apparently, we (Smalltalk family, w/ Self etc.) are lonesome single-charcter return token users, aren’t we?
(Not that this would be wrong) So again, why do we need it explicitly?
