I have to say, I like the substitution of yeet for return. No cap.
All of my returns are going to be

Rust has an RFC that wants to consider yeet as a keyword for throwing an exception, I think they're currently keeping it as a placeholder just in case
AFAIK they're not seriously considering it as a keyword, but they agreed that in all discussion about the semantics of exceptions they will use "yeet" as a placeholder for the keyword, so people will actually discuss the semantics and not whether the keyword is gonna be "raise", "throw", "except" or whatever (so-called Bikeshed Effect)
