Yes, but this is exactly parent's point. Once you allow for the possibility of procedures taking multiple arguments, one has to deal with call trees which cannot be represented unambiguously and compositionally in linearized form. And if this is extended to multiple return values, the "tree" is replaced by a dataflow or control-flow graph (both are possible, and not directly compatible). The change from an ordinary concatenative language is quite substantial.
