==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-jar.1399
Author: jar
Time: 2 May 2021, 3:12:37.830089 pm
UUID: d288b516-c6f1-ce43-9061-2220422b8ab4
Ancestors: Kernel-jar.1398

Fix inconsistent implementation of an explicit and an implicit exception return.

I'd like to return to my original proposal in http://forum.world.st/The-Inbox-Kernel-nice-1391-mcz-tp5129040p5129084.html. The problem then was a bug in #outer that confused me. The bug has been fixed and the original proposal in my opinion makes sense again - to unify how the two kinds of exception return are implemented. Theoretically it's possible to change the #return definition in the future and then the two returns would diverge.
