I agree, and you can sorta do that now. ;-)
Look at this:
squareit.cfm
<cfparam name="attributes.return">
<cfparam name="attributes.x">
<cfset temp = SetVariable("caller.#attributes.return#", attributes.x * attributes.x)>
test.cfm
<cfset y = 5>
<cf_squareit return = "z" x = 5>
<cfoutput>#z#</cfoutput>
It would be cleaner to say z = squareit(5), but the two really are the same.

What would be cool is if we could write functions _also_ in CFML much like a
custom tag but with the ability to return a value then we can do away
with the break in modularity by writing a return for a simple custom tag straight
into a variable in the caller.
