           Summary: Error: return statements cannot be in contracts
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

          Severity: enhancement

Why can't a return statement be present in a contract? A contract is basically a function returning void. And those can have return statements.

Seems like a pointless restriction to me...
