Hi,

This file is actually a hack of the C<check_returns> sub in
C<tools/dev/check_source_standards.pl> and checks that return
statements look like C<return foo;> rather than C<return (foo);>.
This isn't a firm standard like many of the other coding standards
tests as it will return a false positive on statements like:

return (void *) malloc( size );

however, it will pick up the instances it is intended to fix.

Comments welcome,

Paul
