note 68501 added to function.mysql-fetch-assoc

I read someone posting 'I have the philosphy that a
function has exactly one return point.'

It seems to me that always having only one return point
takes away a little power from 'return' making code less
efficient. Compare:

function doSomething($a,$b) {
   $returnVal = 1;
   if($a==$b) { $returnVal = false; }
   if($returnVal !== false) { //didnt we discover that
already?
      //do something as we know a and b is what we expect
      $returnVal = $a - $b;
   }
   return $returnVal;
}

with:

function doSomething($a,$b) {
   if($a==$b) { return false; //early exit }
   //do something as we know a and b is what we expect
   return $a-$b;
}
