-- Finally, as a side note, perhaps we could take this opportunity to
further unspecify the returned values of SET! expressions and the various
side-effecting primitives. As it is, we say that they return a single
unspecified value. Could we go a bit further and say that they return an
unspecified number of unspecified values? I'd like to be able to implement
them as returning zero values in Scheme Xerox.
I agree. This is one of the cases that Mike and I had in mind when we
stated in our original proposal that we would need to discuss the
arity of all existing Scheme procedures.
