Re: [Chicken-users] Multithreading test

That should read, returning #f is pretty standard for normal functions
that return one value.  For example, assq does not throw an exception
when it fails, and doing so would seem excessive.  So why should
multiple-valued functions be any different?

Maybe this is one thing the tuples proposal was meant to address.
