ARGUMENTS/VALUES -> CONSUME/PRODUCE




    From: ramsdell@linus.mitre.org

    CALL-WITH-VALUES is fine by me but I wish we could find something
    shorter.  RETURN is my favorite alternative to VALUES.  Using Guy's
    logic, I guess the symmetric pair of names would then be CALL and
    RETURN. 

Or CONTINUE and RETURN.  This has gone on long enough that I have lost
any perspective about what good names would be.  Aren't most people
going to CALL-WITH-VALUES via some syntactic extension anyway?  If so,
a good but long name is OK.
