I am not sure that this would be enough.
This topic is discussed in the report http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14372

You likely mean as a unique explicit argout, instead of the varargout 
"implicit" list.
Wrapping the result in a list would break a lot of code, and would make 
addressing the results more complicated for most frequent cases.
