[REQUEST]If javascript function returns an array object - Snap to auto-convert it to a list

In the recent MQTT project

Mqtt blocks

Woot! That's awesome! I've found a limitation: on my machine, when I subscribe to a really busy topic like "#" (all topics) on test.mosquitto.org, the messagequeue buffer fills faster than Snap can process the queue. Eventually, the mqtt connection was closed (apparently due to some kind of error)... So, there's that... Also, I selected "&&" as a delimiter between topic and payload for when the JavaScript function returns a message to Snap. I don't know if it's possible for an mqtt topic to co…

a javascript function needs to return two values - a topic and a payload.

Currently, the two are joined together "artifically" with "&&" and then manually split once they are returned to Snap context.

I was wondering if Snap could be easily modded to detect if returned value was an array. And if it is - returned a Snap list object?

Hmm, can't you have your function return a List instead?
