Only partially on-topic but: I believe *unspecified* should not be used
explicitly in code.  It's an implementation detail, and by avoiding it in
user code, we lessen the burden on the Guile maintainers to stick to this
particular implementation detail for backwards compatibility.

I'd advise #f or (values) for a "no meaningful return value" situation.
