	Plainly wrong: Three concepts to get multiple returned: structs, 
object references, arrays.

	Poor man's runtime implementation of pre-, postconditions and
invariants: System.Diagnostics.{Debug,Trace}.Assert. A more sophisticated
implementation easily could introduce new attribute classes (think of
'[Pre("23 != 42"), Post("23 == 42")] int foo(int bar);") or would
implement correctness checking on compile time. 

<rant>Only problem with that: Until someone shows me a working solution I
consider "automatic verification on top of high-level-languages" as a nice
good-night-story for children. As the poor quality of the existing
LARCH-Tools - for instance- shows LARCH is not a working solution.</rant>
