Question about the result

[Mike Kerner]

It would be nice if we had more consistent locations to check for feedback,
without special cases and provisos.  For example, returning a value from a
function and a command (forget "for value" and "for error") populate it or
the result depending on whether we are using a command or a function.  One
of the side effects of adding "for value" and "for result" is that some of
the error reporting we used to receive if we coded for the incorrect
handler type has gone away.

-- 
On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
