This would make sense, I don't see why we couldn't make "return" an expression.

binarycleric - that doesn't do the same thing in the slightest.
That would cause the return to run either way. What mnemo wants is for the return to happen ONLY if
mysql fails.
Otherwise it should continue to the next line.
This works:
function foo() {}
mysql_connect(blah) or foo(false);
But this doesn't:
mysql_connect(blah) or return(false);
And I think it should.

That really isn't what return does because it's not a conditional. Similar
behaviour can be achieved by using:
return (mysql_connect($blah) !== false) ? true : false;

Description:
------------
I wish "return doh" was treated like an expression when though this expression will never
be computable.
The reason is that I want to write this:
mysql_connect(blah) or return false;
Just like I do with die etc.
