One thing I wish was available in all languages is the ability to
return multiple values from a function call so you can return both a
status and the value(s) in one assignment. Ie: "a, b, c > demo_function(param1, param2);".
 
In languages with dynamic associative arrays (such as PHP), I
simulate this by returning an associative array from a function call
with both status and value fields. Makes coding _so_ much cleaner and
robust.

Rust does this very well:

pub fn swap(a: u32, b: u32) -> (u32, u32)
{
    (b, a)
}
