[ 2022-11-06; Daniel comments and provides alternative wording ]

Now that we have the new element Result: specified in [structure.specifications], we can simply replace all occurrences of the Return type: by this element.

[ 12-May-2020, Jonathan provides wording to correct the 13 occurrences. ]

[ Issues Telecon 16-Dec-2016 ]

Priority 3; Jonathan to provide wording.

The current draft contains 14 occurrences of a Return type: clause. That clause is not covered by [structure.specifications] p3. This was reported as editorial request #266.
