Subject: [PATCH] Ignore voidReturnIsNotAllowed for compiler

First alternative of avoidEmpty causes trouble in the compiler:

	&T avoidEmpty(list[&T] _) { return 1; }

Supposed behaviour: when called with empty list, &T is bound to void,
avoidEmpty is therefore forbidden to return 1, hence this alternative
fails and the next one is tried.

Issue in the compiler: the return expression should depend on all type
parameters of the return type. But the constant 1 does not. I do not yet
see how to reconcile this with the return requirement.

Probably, we should completely rewrite this test
