There is currently a recommendation in Function and Structure to not use "return" but it says to "just put the variable on a line by itself" ...

I wonder if that's the majority opinion?

Assuming this is the last line of my function, what's better:

$output = $temp + (Get-Thing $temp)
return $output

$output = $temp + (Get-Thing $temp)
$output

$output = $temp + (Get-Thing $temp)
Write-Output $output

I won't go into piping output to Write-Output ;-)
