In bpo-9305, Fred Drake recommends preferring `Returns ...` over the imperative `Return ...`: https://bugs.python.org/issue9305#msg110912

Currently we're pretty consistent about `Return ...`, which is consistent with PEP 257: https://peps.python.org/pep-0257/

That said, I actually think "Returns ..." sounds much better in the documentation, and I'd be happy to see it changed if others agree.

I have spun this off from bpo-9305 so that we can unblock https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31697.
