I had expected that in try: except: else
the else clause always got executed, but it seems not for return

>>> def bang():
...     try:
...             return 'return value'

...     else:

 >>> bang()
'return value'

is this a 'feature' or bug. The 2.0 docs seem not to mention
return/continue except for try finally.
