Hi Gary,

if someone wants the value of the last expression returned, it's much simpler to write Python/native
language, than cryptic, lately documented org-mode flags.
That's a kind of re-inventing a programming-language, also redundant.

No? Any program may output any of it's values.

The use of "return" doesn't depend from interactive mode.
It's related to a function.

Seen from org-user, IMO any back-ends interactive mode or not is not of interest.
":session" mimics and/or probably uses it, but it would also possible to implement it as a file, loading
previous values from a storage.

I don't see any way to make them both behave the same way.

Probably most useful at this list is to define which feature/behavior is most convenient.
Why people use this mode, what they want to do.

Cheers,

Andreas
