Currently, TESTed-DSL treats expression and statements as synonyms. However, we might make the following distinction.
Expressions are evaluated into a value. The default expected return value of an expression is nothing, but this expected value can be altered by explicitly setting an expected return value in a test suite.
Statements are executed, which never yields a value. The return value of an expression is always ignored, and this behavior can not be overruled. This means that no return value can be set for a statement in a test suite.
