Description

Currently use statement returns nothing, even if "return " is explicitly written inside the "use" block. When a value needs to be returned, a workaround like the following has to be put into place:

def f(){
def result
use(...)

{ .... result = ... }

return result
}

Reason being that the return type of GroovyCategorySupport.use() method is void.
