Don't return everything, return what I specifically returned (yeah, I know about objects, talking about everywhere else). I know it will never happen, but one can dream. Painpoints aside, you and your team are doing excellent job. Thank you

Edit: unless you are also responsible for DSC, than I'll take it back. It's terrible.

Unfortunately, we can't ever change that one, or the whole world of existing stuff will break.

It's intended as a shell semantic where anything bare on the command line just gets run, no matter your scope.

However when we introduced classes, we thought it was a more "dev-oriented" semantic, so we changed return there.

This will only return 'this will return':

  class foo {
    [string] ReturnTest() {
      'this will not return'
      return 'this will return'
    }
  }
  
  ([foo]::new()).ReturnTest()
