Hi.
Why array ? Because it's the only method I've found that works with any
type of data. I didn't know that POV could use lists (,,,,).
I couldn't find anything in the docs about array* and/or list(tuple).

It also depends on the number of values to be returned. For 3,4,5
values, the list is acceptable and a good choice. Beyond that, an array
is easier to use.



Thanks for your comment.



* : in the context of macro return values, of course ;)
