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.
