This revision is now accepted and ready to land.
LGTM once the optional bits are fixed up.

+/// ReturnStmts return them from the function.
+class Returned {

Ah, point #1 is an excellent point. As for #2, I think we can handle it in a follow-up, but I believe `co_return` follows the same usage patterns as `return`, generally.

Yeah, I think it's probably better to drop the optionals here -- we can revisit the decision later if there's user feedback requesting finer granularity here.
