Steps to reproduce

Add a return in the try clause

def foo(bar): try: return bar.baz except AttributeError: pass 

Current behavior

Pylint emits no warning for inconsistent-return-statements. Note that it will emit a warning if the value is returned in the except clause.

Expected behavior

Pylint should emit a warning for not explicitly returning a value if an exception is hit, be it in the except clause itself or at the end of the call.
