Oops, sorry.

For the return values I had just mis-remembered what was allowed.

But I hadn't understood the complete absence of vectors inside
functions, at all.  I just read 6.1 through again and I had completely
miss-read  the intended meaning of that first paragraph.  I would have
got it if I'd cross-referenced with the little parse-spec, but since
I'd already got the wrong idea, I didn't think to do that.

Sorry folks, I guess I'll go back to writting my vector expressions
out in long hand again....
