Where exactly do they return their values? [return], [break] and
[continue] and [error] are similar. None of them return a value to the
context in which they are called, or any other (although [return] and
[error] are somewhat ambiguous at the Tcl level, they set a Tcl
result, but the commands don't return a value). You do know the
difference between returning a value at the C level and a Tcl command
returning a value to the Tcl scripting level? Two different things.
But [break] and [continue] don't even return to the Tcl scripting
level. Maybe you don't distinguish between what a command can cause
another chunk of code to return and the actual return value of the
command itself? But I'm somewhat  , where exactly would these
commands return? Return, and do what exactly? Like, oops, not
supposed to be here, bye.
