Issue #16181 has been updated by enebo (Thomas Enebo).


Ok cool.  Let's hope we get some more consensus on this.  I don't like deviating from MRI in behavior so I hope to see more come to the same conclusion.

----------------------------------------
Bug #16181: return from a proc in a module/class body returns out of script.  Should be LJE.

----------------------------------------
return is not allowed from class/module body.  But if we insert a return into a block then we can invoke the block then it returns all the way out of the script.  This has to be accidental behavior doesn't it?  I believe the case below should end up as a LocalJumpError:


```
class Foo
  proc { return }.call
end
puts "NEVER SEEN"
```

This behavior started some time in 2.5 (it used to be an LJE).
