An alternate description of the multiple values proposal
I'm happy with your wording. There is one minor thing however:
(CALL-WITH-VALUES producer consumer) [Procedure]
Producer should be a procedure of zero arguments and consumer should be a
procedure. Consumer is applied to the value(s) returned by invoking
producer. CALL-WITH-VALUES returns the result(s) of the invocation of
consumer.
Producer does not have to be a procedure of exactly zero arguments.
There is no reason to outlaw procedures of zero or more arguments. On
the other hand, I don't feel at all strongly about this.
Perhaps "Producer should be a procedure that accepts zero arguments
and consumer should be a procedure..." would be better.
