Comment (by birgire):

 Hi Helen, thanks for your comment.

 My user-experience is that the ''Theme Customizer'' feels like a
 fullscreen popup with a close button.
 When I close it, I expect to go back to the previous page.

 Let's say the user is on the page {{{/wp-admin/widgets.php}}} and clicks
 on the ''Theme Customizer'' link in the admin menu. The ''Theme
 Customizer'' opens up and when the user closes it, he's taken to the page
 {{{/wp-admin/themes.php}}} instead of the page {{{/wp-admin/widgets.php}}}
 where he started.

 So this is the case when {{{$return}}} is empty.

 By having a filter on the ''Close'' link, the user could for example use
 the ''referred'' page instead.

 Or better yet, use the referred page instead of the default {{{admin_url(
 'themes.php' )}}}.

 I should have described this better in the first place, I hope this makes
 sense ;-)
