I believe you mean return the value of the last statement that is 
executed, as in the try-except example or the conditional example:
     {: if a {:b} else {:c}}

I must congratulate you, Nick, for being the first person in my 14 years 
with Python to make a brace idea look half-way sensible. I can see that 
algorithmically generated code (which includes templates) might be a 
real use case.
