> return value : ret Fun fact: Rust's return keyword was originally spelled "ret" (because, IIUC, Rust designer Graydon wanted all keywords to be <= 5 characters). Enough people complained that "ret" was too ugly and unnecessarily breaking precedent from other languages, so it was changed to "return". I don't like "ret" because makes me think of "retch" :) but you make a good argument for using it for return values. Mozilla's coding style typically uses "rv".
