RE: Odd behaviour with multiple return values and varargs

["Mason Deaver" <mc.deaver@...>]

How about this alternative (variation of code submitted by
Tom Miles):

function Position()
       return { 1,2 }
end

function Dimensions()
       return { 100,200 }
end

function push_clip(pos,dim)
       x, y = unpack(pos)
       w,h = unpack(dim)
       print(x,y,w,h)
end

push_clip(Position(), Dimensions())
-- prints:  1       2       100     200

This at least hides from the parent code details about what
Position() and Dimensions() are returning.
