Multiple returns & list constructors

[David Given <dg@...>]

The configuration system I'm using Lua for wants to create long lists of 
items. Something like this:

list {
	"one", "two", "three", "four"
}

I have a function that massages some data and returns some items to be 
included in the above list:

function fn(...)
	return "A", "B", C"
end

It's used like this:

list {
	"one", "two", "three", "four",
	fn {"some more data here"}
}

-> "one", "two", "three", "four", "A", "B", "C"

That works fine.

Unfortunately, multiple returns from a function are only concatenated to the 
list if the function is the *last* thing on the list. If it's somewhere in 
the middle of the list, only the first item is added.

list {
	"one", "two", fn {}, "three"
}

--> "one", "two", "A", "three"

This isn't what I need. I *have* to be able to add multiple items, because I'm 
going to want to call fn() several times while creating the list.

Are there any workarounds I can use to fix this? I can have fn() return a 
table, in which case the table gets added to the list, but it's still added 
as a single item where I actually want the contents of the item instead...

Any suggestions?
