Dear all,

I'm a bit puzzled by the behaviour of the macro language "return"
statement, i.e. running the following code

> function foo1(mystr){
> return(mystr);
> }
>
> function foo2(mystr){
> return mystr;
> }
>
> print(foo1("some random text"));
> print(foo2("some random text"));

results in this output:

> 0
> some random text

Is this intended? I couldn't find any hint about this in the official
macro language documentation [1].

Cheers
~Niko
