      becouse Nice will detect that "instance" is of a "sure type"
      after the "instance = new Foo();" assignment.
+   * Allow value returns in void methods. It's useful when exiting from
+     the method in a branch after doing a single operation. For instance,
+     instead of:
+ 
+       void add(int x)
+       {
+         if (x == 0)
+           {
+             buffer.append("ZERO\n");
+             return;
+           }
+         ...
+       }
+ 
+     one can now more simply write:
+ 
+       void add(int x)
+       {
+         if (x == 0)
+           return buffer.append("ZERO\n");
+         ...
+       }
