Return multiple values in JavaScript?

Question

I am trying to return two values in JavaScript. Is this possible?

var newCodes = function() {  
    var dCodes = fg.codecsCodes.rs;
    va

Ecmascript 6 includes "destructuring assignments" (as kangax mentioned) so in all browsers (not just Firefox) you'll be able to capture an array of values without having to make a named array or object for the sole purpose of capturing them.

//so to capture from this function
function myfunction()
{
 var n=0;var s=1;var w=2;var e=3;
 return [n,s,w,e];
}

//instead of having to make a named array or object like this
var IexistJusttoCapture = new Array();
IexistJusttoCapture = myfunction();
north=IexistJusttoCapture[0];
south=IexistJusttoCapture[1];
west=IexistJusttoCapture[2];
east=IexistJusttoCapture[3];

//you'll be able to just do this
[north, south, west, east] = myfunction(); 

You can try it out in Firefox already!
