so at least note this in the extended description.

It is advisable to find out what the unhandled cases are and check for them,
returning an appropriate value or panicking if necessary.
returning an appropriate value or panicking if necessary. Check if you need
to remove a semicolon from the last expression, like in this case:
```ignore
fn foo(x: u8) -> u8 {
inner(2*x + 1);
}
```
The semicolon discards the return value of `inner`, instead of returning
it from `foo`.
