It looks good to me.  Just one minor point below.

@@ -4055,8 +4055,12 @@ Warn whenever a function is defined with a

+For a @code{return} statement with an expression in a function whose

I would suggest to add that this only applies to C.  Otherwise
it's valid C++ so G++ accepts it without a pedantic warning.

As a disclaimer, someone else endowed with those special powers
will need to approve your final patch.  If you don't get a timely
approval please ping the patch weekly.
