Comment (by robmiller):

 Attached is an audit of current uses of return false; it naturally doesn't
 attempt to make a distinction between logical uses and ones where it's
 being used to suppress default event handlers. I'm going to nip through
 and grab the low-hanging fruit (i.e. the most obvious uses where
 `preventDefault` is the correct option).
