By separate return values, do you mean the function returns a cons of cons? It
seems fine to me. Though I think the docstring could be more specific. Like
saying return a cons (REGION . REGION), where REGION is (BEG . END), where BEG
and END...

IMHO a backend/helper function shouldn’t signal a user-error, it’s better to
return nil and let the command to signal errors.
