@Chris:

I know you have return values and parameters for subroutines planned, and that they might come very soon, but I'm even more excited about another possible implementation of this concept - user defined functions. Essentially the same as labels with parameters, but putting AHK in a new light. We can have mini-libraries, and #Include would be exponentially more useful. I know you might already be planning this, but I'm pushing for implementation of this at the same time as return values (next release?), for these reasons:

• #Include libraries won't have ambiguity problems with other labels.
  
• Better readability.
  
• Possiblity to "develop" libraries for AHK to add functionality, without having to modify the source itself.
  
• Existing commands that are used less often could be remade as libraries (if possible) included with the installation.

So, can we expect something like this in 26? Later? Never?

Yes, hopefully what is produced will include all the things you mentioned. Just have to work out the details now.
