Kotlin return statement in anonymous function vs inlined lambda functions

Having a return statement in an anonymous function in Kotlin acts like a break statement. The return statement without a @label always returns from the nearest function declared with a 'fun' keyword (Anonymous function doc).

On the other hand, return statement inside a lambda function, that was passed to an inline function, exits the enclosing outer function. The lambda is inlined, so the return inside it is actually treated as a return from outer function scope.
