The original question was considering the difference from the
main function, from which a return exits the program. Some may
argue that a sequence of returns is best, and I mainly agree,
though it all depends on the circumstances. Nonetheless, any
program exiting "normally" usually has an elegant sequence of
returns going back to main.
