1. We should focus in rule description that "return" contains argument. "return" without argument can be used in generator. 

2. About labels: may be we should create tag for syntax error, and to use it in all such python rules. For example "syntax". What do you think?

\[~elena.vilchik] I've updated the description. See if it's enough.


I'm not wild about the proposed tag.

Deprecating this rule because it is possible to use ``++return++`` in a generator since Python 3.3, which was released on September 29, 2012.


The following code:

----
return 42
----
is equivalent to

----
raise StopIteration(42)
----

See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/#formal-semantics[PEP 380] for more information.


Note also that https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/[official python 2 support will be stopped on January 1, 2020], thus there is no point in having this rule enabled by default.
