Heard the argument before :)
Too often Foo ends up being called 'Result' because there's actually no
concept that the multiple returned list returns.
OO involves designing with classes that map to domain concepts. When the
domain concept uses the Java language as a domain and the concept is
JavaHasNoMultipleReturnObject, then it's not good OO :)
In reality you end up returning an array, which is fine except it is
untyped and only handles Objects. I'd like it to handle priomitives too
and be typed.
Just a view :)
