You're reading my thoughts on this one. So far, if we're to change
anything, this is where I would start. However, then it becomes a matter of
how do we understand that there is indeed more than one return value, or
that a None value is permissible. You were right in that t_output_helper is
lazy, but making it work for it's dinner is going to be hard without
breaking a lot of code. Boy, talk about a nice complex issue.

Any and all help is always appreciated. Like I said before, I'm a relative
newcomer to Python, Python extensions, and SWIG, so having you look also
should help a lot.
