Re: [Python-ideas] Make return inside a finally a SyntaxError

I actually did this on purpose recently. I felt somewhat evil while I was doing it, but it was the most concise way of getting the behaviour I wanted. I'll probably go back and change it at some though, since exploiting this trick will likely confuse someone in the future. That said, I think this is in the realm of style guides and lint tools rather than the compiler.
