@lee i took a brief but wider look at rewrite-clj docs -- from what i can tell, the word "return" is mostly encountered in code that originated from rich hickey (a fair bit of custom-zipper.core). the word "create" is sometimes used (presumably w/ the implication that what's created is returned). "return" does occur elsewhere, but really not that much. may be there are some tips for learning to read the current style of docs better 🙂

If we are confused, others will be too. I admire using no more code/words than necessary but I see nothing wrong with providing a bit more guidance where folks are confused.
