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.

Few languages support multiple return values.
 And a few other languages support tuples with named fields
or anonymous classes with named properties, which is almost as good.
 And almost all newer high level languages support map/dictionary/associative array.
