Same behavior as in Lua 5.0, modulo the "..." syntax:

# If the function is called inside another expression or in
# the middle of a list of expressions, then its return list
# is adjusted to one element, thus discarding all returned
# values except the first one.  If the function is called as
# the last element of a list of expressions, then no
# adjustment is made (unless the call is enclosed in
# parentheses).
