gdb does this, out of the box. If you run "finish" it will report the return 
value.

This is in bugzilla: 
   http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108401

The implementation should be simple, but it's not clear how to show this. 
Should we add

  "return value from foo" to variables list

and add new "return value from ..." as we continue, or just show the last 
return value in the variables list?
