As a follow up to this thread, and still a part of it, I recall someone
mentioning something about how LR doesn't always work the way we think.

IE: doing a return and not setting LR on doesn't work in some cases....

does anyone recall that comment being made and the justification or
explanation of that statement?

The only thing which comes to mind at the moment would be calling a
program with *NEW activation group that returns with LR off.

I've never done it, but I think the activation group will be destroyed
regardless of whether LR is on or off, so speaking very generally the
effect would be that of LR being on (but with a big performance hit on
repeated calls because of creating and destroying an activation group
every time).
