Stuff like
 render :text => 'foo' and return
is widely used. As in "I've seen it in many, many places, and it
always made sense".
Besides, it does exactly what it says (so, readability is just fine).

There are other not-so-obvious Ruby idioms. E.g. ||= as lazy
initiation, foo :bar => 1, :baz => 2 as named parameters, etc, etc.
Where is the line between junk and an idiom?
