Re: Re: [Chicken-users] are values 1st-class?

Use (receive _ (values 1 2) _) when using standard SRFI-8 receive.
That's what (receive (values 1 2)) is short for on Chicken.  See
http://galinha.ucpel.tche.br/Non%20standard%20macros%20and%20special%20forms#receive.

Of course, you could write a macro to transform (values->list v) into
(receive x v x) on SISC or Guile, if you don't like the longer syntax.
Or expand it to call-with-values if you don't want to use receive.
