Some Smalltalks required it (i.e. VA), that's probably also the reason
why SUnit uses it. Likely has to do with how they implement exception
handlers.

Can anyone explain me why it would make sense to use #return: in the following method?
TestCase >> executeShould: aBlock inScopeOf: anExceptionalEvent
       ^[aBlock value.
          false]
               on: anExceptionalEvent
               do: [:ex | ex return: true]
I would instinctively replace [:ex | ex return: true] with the much simpler [:ex | ^ true]..
Am I missing something here?
