eg:
#version 3.8;
global_settings {assumed_gamma 1}
box {0,1}

#macro has2lines ()
  #local Result = array {1234,5678};
  (Result[0], Result[1])
#end

#declare (first,second) = has2lines();
#debug concat("first ",str(first,0,0)," second ",str(second,0,0),"\n")
#warning "end-of-scene"


note (a) you need to provide two return values if you want to assign two values
from the call, and (b) nothing doing w/out parentheses.  (and coffee !! :-))
