Description

The use(category)

{closure}

construct doesn't seem to be returning any useful value. It would be useful if it propagated the value returned by its closure. This would a more natural "use" of categories in cases like:

def function() {
return use(HelperFunctions)

{ if (checkSomething) return EARLY //... return LATE }

}
