"var re, im = complexSqrt(-1)" is not accepted by 8g

by trost-g@cloud.rain.com:

According to http://golang.org/doc/go_spec.html#Variable_declarations the
following code is valid:

  func complexSqrt(i int) (int, int) {return 0, 1}
  var re, im = complexSqrt(-1)

However, 8c generates the following error when I compile it

  multiple-value complexSqrt() in single-value context

Not clear if it's the docs or the compiler that's in error.
