Just add WITH-VALUES and VALUES.
As for the politics, consider this proposal as the best oportunity for
a compromise. We ask Kent Dybvig to accept the critical property that
(VALUES E) is always equivalent to E and we ask Guillermo Rozas to
accept no agreement can currently be reached about an arity checking
procedure. Please do not hold WITH-VALUES and VALUES hostage for they
really do represent existing practice, and many programmers use these
procedures. The art of politics is compromise. What say we give it a try?
In a compromise everyone gives in a little. I don't see you doing
that.
The semantics that I want is that extra values are truncated when
returned to implicit continuations. As a compromise, I accept strict
semantics as long as ACCEPTS? is provided. I'm trying to compromise,
you are trying to have me surrender.
