Re: Functions returning multiple values.
It's not a mountain different to current techniques like int.TryParse() returning both the success and the value if it was successful or dictionary.TryGetValue returning both whether the object exists in the dictionary and the object itself when it does.
On more than one occasion I have created a class that inherits tuple and named item 1 and 2 via getter methods and named constructor parameters. It works nicely but can be very verbose.
