To the *DEF*?  Why ever, and what good would that do, given
the name-to-object association is performed dynamically
anyway?!  The lack of return, or 'return' w/o args, or
'return None', is all that's needed to signify that the
function is not returning a value _this_ time.  I'm talking
about run-time controls, NOT compile-time ones...!
