Description:
Returns, as if by return-from, from the block named nil.
Examples:
 (block nil (return) 1)  NIL
 (block nil (return 1) 2)  1
 (block nil (return (values 1 2)) 3)  1, 2

Notes:
 (return) ==(return-from nil)
 (return form) ==(return-from nil form)
 
The implicit blocks established by macros such as do
are often named nil, so that return can be used to exit from
such forms.
