It's not that hard, just return a sequence containing each value you want
returned.
While somethne like
success, val = value(string)
might (theoretically) sound like a good idea to implement if you're interested
in only a specific value (say val) you need to copy the sequence over anyways
(like we do now) or use some syntax that'll probably be butt-ugly like
,,z = get_coords()
or like in Perl
($_, $_, $x) = get_coords()
With sequences as powerful as they are this is pretty useless and makes the code
look ugly and confusing.
