Yes, of course. Just to add more confusion, __index is just one of many 
metamethods you can abuse to implement call semantics. But IIRC only 
__call lets you return more than one return value.

Essentially, once you allow metamethods to be defined you can't 
recognize calls any more by looking at the code.
