All,
Section 11 does not specify some corner cases for functions.
1) If there are multiple statements without a begin-end or fork-join, are
the statements executed sequentially or in parallel?
2) Does a return with an expression get stored in the implicit storage of
the function name? This affects static functions, which would have that
value available on the next call (bad style, but allowed).
3) Can a non-void function use a return without an expression? Does it
then return the last value assigned to the function name, as in Verilog?
