test case

It would be nice, especially for bindings, to support returning fixed length arrays from method calls. This could be used to help eliminate those arrays with a length of -1 without requiring a wrapper.

I like this idea. It is somewhat related to my idea of having tuples in the language (bug 597693), which would also lift the C-inherited requirement of "one central return value".
