+<h3>3.4.12 &ndash; <a name="3.4.12">Lists of expressions, multiple results,
+and adjustment</a></h3>
+
+<p>
+Both function calls and vararg expressions can result in multiple values.
+These expressions are called <em>multires expressions</em>.
+
+
+<p>
+When a multires expression is used as the last element
+of a list of expressions,
+all results from the expression are added to the
+list of values produced by the list of expressions.
+Note that a single expression
+in a place that expects a list of expressions
+is the last expression in that (singleton) list.
+
+
+<p>
+These are the places where Lua expects a list of expressions:
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>A <b>return</b> statement,
+for instance <code>return e1, e2, e3</code> (see <a href="#3.3.4">&sect;3.3.4</a>).</li>
+
+<li>A table constructor,
+for instance <code>{e1, e2, e3}</code> (see <a href="#3.4.9">&sect;3.4.9</a>).</li>
+
+<li>The arguments of a function call,
+for instance <code>foo(e1, e2, e3)</code> (see <a href="#3.4.10">&sect;3.4.10</a>).</li>
+
+<li>A multiple assignment,
+for instance <code>a , b, c = e1, e2, e3</code> (see <a href="#3.3.3">&sect;3.3.3</a>).</li>
+
+<li>A local declaration,
+for instance <code>local a , b, c = e1, e2, e3</code> (see <a href="#3.3.7">&sect;3.3.7</a>).</li>
+
+<li>The initial values in a generic <b>for</b> loop,
+for instance <code>for k in e1, e2, e3 do ... end</code> (see <a href="#3.3.5">&sect;3.3.5</a>).</li>
+
+</ul><p>
+In the last four cases,
+the list of values from the list of expressions
+must be <em>adjusted</em> to a specific length:
+the number of parameters in a call to a non-variadic function
+(see <a href="#3.4.11">&sect;3.4.11</a>),
+the number of variables in a multiple assignment or
+a local declaration,
+and exactly four values for a generic <b>for</b> loop.
+The <em>adjustment</em> follows these rules:
+If there are more values than needed,
+the extra values are thrown away;
+if there are fewer values than needed,
+the list is extended with <b>nil</b>'s.
+When the list of expressions ends with a multires expression,
+all results from that expression enter the list of values
+before the adjustment.
+
+
+<p>
+When a multires expression is used
+in a list of expressions without being the last element,
+or in a place where the syntax expects a single expression,
+Lua adjusts the result list of that expression to one element.
+As a particular case,
+the syntax expects a single expression inside a parenthesized expression;
+therefore, adding parentheses around a multires expression
+forces it to produce exactly one result.
+
+
+<p>
+We seldom need to use a vararg expression in a place
+where the syntax expects a single expression.
+(Usually it is simpler to add a regular parameter before
+the variadic part and use that parameter.)
+When there is such a need,
+we recommend assigning the vararg expression
+to a single variable and using that variable
+in its place.
+
+
+<p>
+Here are some examples of uses of mutlres expressions.
+In all cases, when the construction needs
+"the n-th result" and there is no such result,
+it uses a <b>nil</b>.
+
+<pre>
+     print(x, f())      -- prints x and all results from f().
+     print(x, (f()))    -- prints x and the first result from f().
+     print(f(), x)      -- prints the first result from f() and x.
+     print(1 + f())     -- prints 1 added to the first result from f().
+     local x = ...      -- x gets the first vararg argument.
+     x,y = ...          -- x gets the first vararg argument,
+                        -- y gets the second vararg argument.
+     x,y,z = w, f()     -- x gets w, y gets the first result from f(),
+                        -- z gets the second result from f().
+     x,y,z = f()        -- x gets the first result from f(),
+                        -- y gets the second result from f(),
+                        -- z gets the third result from f().
+     x,y,z = f(), g()   -- x gets the first result from f(),
+                        -- y gets the first result from g(),
+                        -- z gets the second result from g().
+     x,y,z = (f())      -- x gets the first result from f(), y and z get nil.
+     return f()         -- returns all results from f().
