Well, we agree on the fundamentals... Now all I need to do is beat you into submission about the particulars. 
I've used the multiple return value in other languages (including wxBasic), and I've never felt the need to add some sort of extra syntax around it.
I've returned multiple values in euphoria, and I've never felt the need to not pass them as a sequence. 
Seriously, though, putting my Raymond Chen hat on and starting this feature at -100 points, I'm not seeing the need for another way to pass and receive multiple values.
Wasn't the prior point that that language shouldn't "mollycoddle" the developer? (Although, personally, I want my programming language to do as much heavy lifting as possible).
I think someone was saying something like that, but I don't think it was me.
