define and set! with multiple-values As far as I know it is not possible to implement safe multiple values with out requiring many functions also set a value count. Thus: Wrong. It can be implemented without penalizing the simple cases. Only the case where other than one value needs to be recognized costs more.

Ouch.  That makes me happy. 

Care to give me a hint as to how this cleverness is managed?
