How does this interact with result builders?

e.g. this code:

```swift
var body: some View {
    Text("Foo")
    Text("Bar")
}

```

is currently interpreted something like

```swift
var body: some View {
    Group {
        Text("Foo")
        Text("Bar")
    }
}

```

However, this is also valid:

```swift
var body: some View {
    Text("Foo")
    return Text("Bar")
}

```

The latter interpretation is obviously less common, but still out in the wild, and would still require an explicit final `return`.
