When you change the argument to return, you don't have to recopy the whole
thing.

return
- 0
+ false
  ;

In general, if it is not too inconvenient, it is better not to recopy
code.  That way you are sure that the spaces and newlines will not be
touched.  In this case, it looks like a bug in the pretty printer, but it
it easy to avoid it.
