   No one has yet suggested the name "RETURN" for the multiple-value creator.

The T 3.0 release notes and implementation suggest it.  They just
haven't appeared on this list.  Originally T used VALUES, following
Zetalisp, but (if I remember correctly) the implementors were quite
happy to rename it to RETURN and enjoyed (and enjoy) writing code that
was so confusing to Maclisp/Zetalisp programmers.  The inverse
procedure is called RECEIVE-VALUES, and there's a macro RECEIVE.
