+return
+-------
+
+``return`` compiles to a :py:keyword:`return` statement. It exits the
+current function, returning its argument if provided with one or
+``None`` if not.

+
+    => (defn f [x] (for [n (range 10)] (when (> n x) (return n))))
+    => (f 3.9)
+    4
+
+Note that in Hy, ``return`` is necessary much less often than in Python,
+since the last form of a function is returned automatically. Hence, an
+explicit ``return`` is only necessary to exit a function early.

+
+To get Python's behavior of returning ``None`` when execution reaches
+the end of a function, put ``None`` there yourself.
