any way to tell if a script has a 'return' statement?

Hi all,

If you run a script with 'run script', the script can optionally return a
value in the result variable with a return statement.

Is there any way to determine if a script in fact has a return statement?

I want to be able to save the result returned by a script to a file, but
since the result will always have something in it (something I don't want to
save if the script doesn't specifically return a value), how do I tell
whether or not I should be saving the result variable? I won't know a priori
if the script I am running has a return statement.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Don
