As long as functions _can_ return objects, then it really seems
rather lame to not take advantage of that feature in every way possible.
Being able to select a portion of the normally returned object would often
be preferable to receiving a complete structured variable, and having to
break out the part(s) you are interested in using from that variable in a
later step.
There's nothing in this that would preclude a function call sans the extra
arguments, so functions could still be used just as they are currently.
