Yes, multiple return values are the foundation of Odin’s error 
handling. By the way, I am a big fan of your Joka library. I was 
looking for a starting point to learn betterC because I plan to 
create a Windows-only GUI library using D + betterC, but I did 
not know where to start. I searched the forum and found your 
library. You did an excellent job; thank you for that.
