In fact, some Schemes relax this somewhat (Chez Scheme, for example
basically has Common-Lisp semantics, IIRC).
Since this can get somewhat inconvenient, I will relax the rules as well:
*implicit* non-multival continuations discard all but the first result value
(so `(let ((foo (values 1 2 3))) ...)' will bind foo to 1..

(available in the current darcs repo).
