Is there a difference between `resolve` then `return` and `return resolve()`

I know about code after resolve will be executed; I'm not talking about that. My question is about returning a resolve object like:

return resolve(err)

Is it different from returning nothing? Like:

resolve(err)
return

which is like

  ...
  resolve(err)
}

I'm talking about the canonical case where the promise is handled with then and catch like:

functionReturningAPromise().then().catch()

The statement

return resolve(err);

doesn't make much sense and could be confusing. resolve doesn't explicitly return anything. The only reason to use

return resolve(err);

is to shorten

resolve(err);
return;

That means that

return resolve(err);

and

resolve(err); 
return;

are equivalent.
