Oh, well... roll your own then... e.g.:

function unpacks( ... )
   local someValues = {}

   for anIndex = 1, select( '#', ... ) do
       for _, aValue in ipairs( select( anIndex, ... ) ) do
           someValues[ #someValues + 1] = aValue
       end
   end

   return unpack( someValues )
end

print( unpacks( x, y ) )
