Bug #19779: `eval "return"` at top level raises `LocalJumpError`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19779

* Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
Wondering whether it's intentional behaviour. It seems it's the only difference I've noticed between calling `return` with and without `eval`:

```
ruby -e 'return'
ruby -e 'eval "return"'
(eval):1:in `<main>': unexpected return (LocalJumpError)
	from -e:1:in `eval'
	from -e:1:in `<main>'
```
