That looks unfinished to me.  So I will add a "return" at the end (with
a single tab indent, in this case).

A redundant “return” ... kind of like my redundant “#end” comments, except
yours work in a more restricted set of places ...

Don't you ever just accept that a language is the way it is, and it is
perfectly useable that way?

Of course not.

Or think that perhaps other people in the world know better than you do
about how they want their language to work?

And vice versa.

Has it never occurred to you that the people behind a given
language - such as Python - considered various alternatives and decided
that making it the way they did was the best choice overall for the
language they wanted?

Barring a few obvious stupidities, yes of course they were, and are, smart
people.
