Evaluating functions with multiple return values ​​in the debugger

Suppose I have some function foo(not written by me) that returns multiple values, for example:

function [one, two, three, four] = foo()
    one = 2;
    two = 4;
    three = 8;
    four = 16;
end

(NB: the above is just an example, in general, I do not control the function foo.)

Also, suppose I'm in the middle of a MATLAB debugging session.

If you evaluate now foo, only the first of the returned values ​​is displayed:

K>> foo()
ans =
     2

If I try to capture all the values ​​using an assignment expression, I get one error; eg:

K>> all_returned_values = foo()
Attempt to add "all_returned_values" to a static workspace.
 See Variables in Nested and Anonymous Functions.

K>> [v1 v2 v3 v4] = foo()
Attempt to add "v1" to a static workspace.
 See Variables in Nested and Anonymous Functions.

K>> {v1 v2 v3 v4} = foo()
 {v1 v2 v3 v4} = foo()
               ↑
Error: The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment.

Is there a way to force MATLAB to return all function values ​​that are independent of assignment?
