Want a pair of [string, fileList]? Just make an Array with two
items, one a string, one and array of strings. Done.

Hmm. Interesting.
Yes, Variant and VariantArray are much closer to the dynamic
language semantics...
But the interesting thing is Tuple is much closer to "What I
Mean" when I create thes
