Periodic cleanup to replace 'reply' with 'return' everywhere in the
repo.

I use 'reply' for students to help reinforce the metaphor of function
calls as being like messages through a pipe. But that causes 'reply' to
get into my muscle memory when writing Mu code for myself, and I worry
that that makes Mu seem unnecessarily alien to anybody reading on
Github.

Perhaps I should just give it up? I'll try using 'return' with my next
student.
