Is this UNIX-only? I tried to find whether it mentioned anything about
regarding specifically the unix implementation of the Rc shell but
couldn't...

In Plan 9 the builtin 'return' does not exist (as it it mentioned in the
rc paper in /sys/doc) so the following examples from the FAQ would not 
work:

    fn true { return 0 }
    fn false { return 1 }

Pretty much every other example there uses 'return' at least once and
wouldn't work on Plan 9... Unless I'm missing somerhing?
