Re: return result with it

I came across a bug in my code today that was triggered because I dispatched a message to a custom control that returned some new ids in 'it' and error messages in 'the result'. It reminded me of this thread. I think the new proposed dispatch syntax, where the result contains the result of dispatch and the result of the called command is put into a targeted variable, makes much more sense. It would be nice to see that incorporated at some point.

'return x with y' would be very useful as well.
