Ah, OK - I didn't understand the final decision very well. Sorry about
that.

I'm starting to understand what the error message is trying to say, now.
Can we maybe explore other suggestions? I can suggest for instance:

    Return value type not available for selected stack frame.\n
    Please use an explicit cast of the value to return.

I think we should also probably add a note in the documentation as well.
In case a user still gets confused as to why he gets an error.

Yes, I think so.
