That could end up being such a subtle distinction that it's hard to
explain to people especially since the syntax Lars proposed already
exists
Along the lines of why this causes issues
Dim d1, d2 as new Date
A type safe way to create a "tuple" as a return value or as a built
in class so you COULD say
return 1,2,3
and easily unpack it would be almost ideal
