Let "return" exit a script (#8148)
Currently, if a "return" is given outside of a function, we'd just throw an error. That always struck me as a bit weird, given that scripts can also return a value. So simply let "return" outside also exit the script, kinda like "exit" does. However, unlike "exit" it doesn't quit an interactive shell - it seems weird to have "return" do that as well. It sets $status, so it can be used to quickly set that, in case you want to test something.

It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an :ref:`if <cmd-if>` statement or a :ref:`switch <cmd-switch>` statement to conditionally stop the executing function and return to the caller, but it can also be used to specify the exit status of a function.
|
||||
|
||||
If run at the top level of a script, it exits that script and returns the given status, like :ref:`exit <cmd-exit>`. If run at the top level in an interactive session, it will set ``$status``, but not exit the shell.
