It's not just useful, I think void return declarations are needed in order to establish sensible style rules for strict mode in real projects. To be strict in our programming practices, the absence of a return declaration signifies too many things in 7.0 -- it is excessively overloaded. I summarized the discussions with my colleagues here: http://thefsb.tumblr.com/post/131487359475 Tom
