Re^4: 'return:' instead of 'return'

And the last statement in a sub seems to be excluded from 'useless use of constant' warnings, I didn't know that.

However, the other reason I didn't see "Useless use of a constant in a void context" is that my colleagues code has a variable (not a constant) after the 'return:'.
