Can a function set 'the result' separately from the result it returns? CF the way that "answer file" sets "it" and "the result" separately; or "copyResource" is a function, but sets "the result" (according to the docs); or... I'm not aware of any other examples.
I'm planning a library in which it would seem natural for various functions under certain situations to return empty, while setting 'the result' to indicate why they did; or even in some cases to return non-empty valid data, but also setting "the result" to note some anomalies. Obviously I can have a dedicated global for this purpose; or a special function; but it would seem neater to use 'the result'. Is it possible?
