Hadley W asked for implementations of 'unstructuring assignments' the other day, and I bashed this out to a gist: https://gist.github.com/4543212 it lets you do: (a~b~c) = foo() and if foo() returns a list with three components it assigns them to a, b, and c. Equivalent to: tmp = foo() a=tmp[[1]] b=tmp[[2]] c=tmp[[3]] whether its any use to your use case or even works properly under all circumstances or even just serves to obfuscate things is a point for discussion...
