Re: [Chicken-users] Re: A few questions

im aware of the various srfis on the matter.  thats one of the things i was 
griping about earlier.  receive is entirely counterintuitive... one 
extra set of parens around the vars and producer would make it so much 
easier to follow.  let-values is a nicer solution to the problem but 
still somewhat confusing.  i dislike srfi-71.

i take the number of srfi's relating to binding (values ...) clauses in 
different ways as evidence of its confusing and unnecessary nature. :)
