Multiple values for R4RS.
From: ramsdell@linus.mitre.org
Maybe there is enough consensus to allow agreement on the
non-controversial aspects of multiple values for R4RS. What do people
think about adding only VALUES and APPLY-VALUES?
I'd take this, or VALUES and WITH-VALUES.
From: jinx%hpesogg@sde.hp.COM
I don't think they are worth adding if ACCEPTS? is not included as
well. ...
This is an extreme position. The proposed functionality is
useful even in the absence of ACCEPTS?
From: Morris Katz <mkatz@sesame.stanford.edu>
In the past, Jinx has given a cogent argument as to why the
procedure arity is important ...
I remain unconvinced. As a user, I have found multiple values
(without ACCEPTS?) quite useful. So, I don't think ACCEPTS? provides
super-essential functionality. As an implementor, I would prefer not
to be committed to keeping around arity information for every
procedure.
