Function return values don't seem to work

[erinmaus]

Hi! Love this library! Integrating it into my game for in-game books & dialog!

As the title says, function return values don't seem to work. Take this example from the Ink docs:

Monsieur Fogg was looking {describe_health(45)}.

=== function describe_health(x) ===
{
- x == 100:
	~ return "spritely"
- x > 75:
	~ return "chipper"
- x > 45:
	~ return "somewhat flagging"
- else:
	~ return "despondent"
}

When run inside narrator, ~ return "despondent" (and others) compile to incorrect Lua code. It would generator an error along the lines of: narrator/libs/lume.lua:674: [string "return nil "despondent""]:1: '<eof>' expected near '"despondent"'.

It's not a showstopper for me, I prefer writing any functions in Lua and binding them, I'd prefer to keep the ink as free from any sort of code as possible. But it would be a nice to have. :) I didn't see this in the "known issues" tags, so I'm sorry if this already known! And hopefully it's not too niche.

Thanks for the report, looks like a bug. Using bindings in this case will be the right decision, as local functions may not be as well tested in production I guess (at least I personally haven't used them yet).

I don't have high hopes that @abadonna will join in solving this problem since he's already created his own library, but if he suddenly gets bored and has nothing to do then I will welcome any ideas and suggestions 🙋‍♂️.

Otherwise, of course, I'll see what's going wrong here over some afternoon tea 🫖🌙.
