The final draft made an effort to address those concerns -- but also they are completely inapplicable to optimized builds, as kibwen points out. (And if you care how fast your code runs, you really do want optimizations...)

I wrote up a quick blog post to spell out some of the examples and show how the design aims for a consistent meaning for the `ret` keyword: http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/04/06/for-...

You're missing something. The semantics of `ret` are always consistent: it always returns from out the innermost `fn()` declaration (closures written using the sugared notation `{||...}` do not count as fn declarations, but closures writte
