Normal functions' return values are put through the type
check/inference engine the same way as other variables, so that's the
basic model. Do you believe the users of .return probe values (say,
open() rc and/or errno) need some sort of type polymorphism? Can you
provide a script scenario where a run-time type-code conditional is
needed?
