title: javascript: clean way to have a return statement span multiple lines
body: <p>i'd like to have a javascript return keyword on one line, and the thing it actually returns on the next line.
  in python this would be something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>return \
      someValue
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however due to the optionality of statement-terminating semicolons and the absence of a line-continuation character in javascript, the only approach i've come up with is the hackish</p>
  
  <pre><code>return false ||
      someValue;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>motivation:
  my actual code is like this. during development i sometimes comment out the second line to switch between GlobalScope.doSomething() and myThing.doSomething().  Admittedly this is a minor issue.</p>
  
  <pre><code>return false ||
      myThing.
      doSomething()
      .then(...)
      .then(...)
      .
  </code></pre>
