You're referring to the patch[1] I wrote a few months ago? That's only about 
adding the keyword 'return' to expressions typed in the prompt. Are you saying 
you want to not see the return value from expressions? I don't understand why 
you'd want that.

Not wanting the return from statements is understandable. But whether by 
accident or design you can already do it. Add two semicolons after the 
statement.

It also works to type the semicolon before the statement. But neither of these 
will allow you to type an expression.
