return-by or returns-by – consistency needed

[Nigel-Ecma]

@jskeet noticed that we use return-by-value, return-by-ref & return-no-value and versions where it is returns. Quick search shows 13 singular and 42 plural occurrences.

The singular form matches the call-by-X, or pass-by-X, common terms, though they do not occur in the Standard.

Neither singular or plural is wrong, but we should be consistent!
