Early return from @async function() : Void ends with compile time error at tink_syntaxhub/0,5,0/src/tink/SyntaxHub.hx:35

[Jens-G]

This is not possible:

 @async static function Foo(tell_us:Bool) : Void {
    if (!tell_us)
        return;  // exit right away

    trace("This is Foo");
}

Since this is a Void function returning null instead (as advised elsewhere) only gives another error.

Library used is the haxelib version.

Full error:
