Thanks, exiting stuff!

Here is what I found, when trying to parse it.

near the end of first section All functions return a Capture before the summary:
s{re-capures}{re-captures}xms

next sentence:
in mean one of \( $ foo )) the braces don't match.

In section Passing values out of the function, second code clock:
one additional sentence about PRE would be nice (a precondition probably).

In section Accepting values returned to you, second code block:
my (Str $y, Int $x) := ret-test'(4),  # ($y,$x) gets (1,'Smith'), WRONG
statement ends with a comma instead of a semicolon.

Something here is wrong with the first and third call
my (Str $y, Int $x) := ret-test'(5);  # y=>'Smith', x=>1, so OK versus
my (Str $y, Int $x) := ret-test'(5);  # ($x,$y) gets (1,'Smith'), WRONG
because the same invocation cannot be OK and WRONG at the same time, I think.

Also see second and forth invocation, the comments of both lines contradict each other. First y gets 1, then x gets 1
my (Str $y, Int $x) := ret-test'(4),  # ($y,$x) gets (1,'Smith'), WRONG
versus
my (Str $y, Int $x) := ret-test'(4);  # ($x,$y) gets (1,'Smith'), WRONG

The comments of the third and forth call reverse the order of x and y compared to the first two invocations.
