But there are useful cases for a "primary return value" with optional, secondary ones. > Complain to Felix about this if you don't like it :) You can if you wish, but I'll counter-complain. ;-) G _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
