But GO doesn't return at all.  How could it possibly return a value, if
it never returns?

Could you sketch your idea of any code at all, that could even notice?
Let's say in one implementation, GO's "return value" is defined to be T.
And in another, GO's "return value" is defined to be NIL.

Please explain how you would ever be able to tell which was which.
