It's useful in situations where several values are the result of a 
single computation.  A simple example of this situation is the quotient 
and remainder of an integer division.

There's also a more philosophical argument for them which is that, for 
symmetry, functions should be able to produce multiple results since 
they may consume multiple inputs.
