Amber can compile things methods that use blocks with return, there
should not be any problem with it, but from what I looked into compiler,
it compiles it a little brittle way, if you combine the right set of
selector in call chain, you don't get what you expect (at least it seems
from the implementation).

P.S.: Error in console during compilation? Hmm... then maybe there is
really some problem.
