Dear,
I'm wondering why we can't use multiple returns in expressions like
local a,b,c = f(),g()
Why not stack the result of the expressions on the right side and name the ordered resulting values accordingly?
Detailed:
Suppose Lua 5.4 changes such that
local f = function() return 1,2 end
local g = function() return 3 end
and
local a,b,c,d = f(),g()
would simply do a=1,b=2,c=3,d=nil instead of the current a=1,b=3,c=nil,d=nil.
Moreover, the same on function arguments
s(f(),g()) -> calls s(1,2,3) instead of s(1,3).
Would it be more convenient and predictable?
best,
Rodrigo
