There's already std.variant.Variant, and one or two dub packages that do
similar things.

std.typecons.Tuple does an OK job of it (just return `Tuple!(int,
string)`, for example).  It's also pretty easy to write your own
template for doing this in just a few of lines of code:

	struct MultiRet(T...) {
		T values;
		alias values this;
	}
	auto multiRet(T...)(T values) {
		return MultiRet!T(values);
	}

	auto myFunc() {
		return multiRet(10, "string", 3.14159);

		static assert(is(typeof(return) == MultiRet!(int,
			string, double)));
	}

	auto values = myFunc();
	assert(values[0] == 10);
	assert(values[1] == "string");
	assert(values[2] == 3.14159);
