[Gimp-developer] Function Result of Python in GIMP 2.99.7

[ShiroYuki Mot <shiroyuki mot mail gmail com>]

Sometimes we can get the value as ResultTuple in GIMP 2.99.
When we write a Python Script, Is it OK using a hard cording '[1]' after
the function in order to get the real value?

(ex. col_1=Gimp.context_get_foreground()[1] )
(If in GIMP 2.10, col_0=gimp.context_get_foreground() )

Perhaps, currently it is worthwhile, but how about the future?
(In the future, will the syntax be changed to get not the Tuple but the
value? Or is this already a specification determined/fixed? )

And I am a bit confusing that the result is 'ResultTuple by Gimp class'
and/or 'ValueArray by pdb-calling'.
