It's a return in a subshell in a function, i don't think the comparison is far fetched. I see what you mean, but that raises the question of what's a valid context. Should we make a special case if the subshell is the "outer" compound command of a function? The same thing with by break and continue example: while :;do ( while :;do break 2; done);echo foo;done Should this raise an error? is the break in a loop context? what's a loop context?
