The exit value of a function is supposed to be the exit value of the last
command that it executed.  That is, "return $?" should be unnecessary; if
$? has the right value to begin with, that's what should be returned by
default.

So if this patch really changed the behavior, then there's another bug
somewhere else (perhaps in the wordcode executor for if/else/fi?).
