Tuples deprecated?

There's a more compact way to do multiple returns if you use the constructor of a class as the function: 

// class constructor contains the logic, no need for a separate function. class only exists to act as a function
class foo() {
     val returnVal1 = ...
     val returnVal2 = ...
}



// use it

val f = foo()

println(f.returnVal1)

println(f.returnVal2)


I don’t think there’s a way to use this with multiple assignment, but you have the property names defined in the class so it doesn’t really matter.

Andrey mentioned this approach in a blog post or comment somewhere but I can’t find it.
