Is there is a good technical reason for this truncation?
It is in a very important part of the VM, and any extra work at this
point is going to slow the usual case down. (By how much, I don't
know.)
I just realised this could be another case for my old suggestion [1]
about '...' as a suffix operator which means, explicitly, "do not
truncate this list of values". My original suggestion was for function
call arguments, so:
func(a()..., b, c)
...would not truncate the return values of a(), as it normally would.
But another case could be for this case, so:
local a, b, c = t[1]...
