Pattern: Use of return from finally

Issue: -

Description

Reports all return statements in finally blocks. Using return statements in finally blocks can discard and hide exceptions that are thrown in the try block.

Example of incorrect code:

fun foo() {
    try {
        throw MyException()
    } finally {
        return // prevents MyException from being propagated
    }
}
