That would give you any verbose/debug messages added by the developer,
which may or may not include what's reported as a result string by the
script. AFAIK there's no such capability in Nmap yet and "script results"
can only be returned as a string by the action method.
As scripts use different methods of building their "result string", using
tables or concatenation of strings etc, I don't see an easy way of
achieving this.

Cheers,
Patrik
