I'd rather have return-from in Emacs Lisp than nothing, but I do think
the potential for confusion with, say, freturn, is pretty minimal. It
does what you'd expect from almost all other languages -- return from
the current function.
I don't think this is a very important point, so I won't argue it
further (after this message), but if we have to possibility to add a new
language feature, I think we're slightly wasting an opportunity if we
don't make the new language feature as compelling as possible.
