It's really quite manageable and not nearly as complex as the article makes it out to be (at least not in practice).

See https://github.com/cmr/terminfo-rs/blob/master/searcher.rs or any other rust code, for example.

The return keyword is *encouraged* to be used, it's not to be avoided at all. But it doesn't make sense to use as the result of an expression, because then you can't return from the function!
