It would be nice if functions could return more than one object for example

public (int, File) getData(int p_stuff){
  return m_anInt, m_aFile;
}

...
  File f; int i;
  (i, f) = getData(2);

This save having to make an object just to hold the data

WORK AROUND Name: mc57594 Date: 02/24/97 ====================================================================== Package multiple objects in an array or a container Object. If that is all you use this container for, good implementations will be able to optimize the allocation away. gilad.bracha@eng 1997-12-17
