Actually a huge number of languages allow multiple return values.

Some are "flexible" as in Lua -- automatically discarding or supplying
RVs as necessary to fit what the caller asked for -- and some are
"rigid" in that the number of returned values must exactly match what
the caller asked for (or the caller must explicitly use some mechanism
to handle unexpected/unsupplied values).
