[docs] [issue18518] return-ing within code timed with timeit.timeit causes wrong return value of timeit.timeit

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

May be add a guard against statements which can confuse timeit? These are not only "return", but "yield", and "break" and "continue" outside of a loop. Proposed patch checks that testing code can be compiled outside of a function.
