DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME is a function that returns multiple values.
(see section 7.10. of CLtL2)

The construct that enables you to collect multiple values into a
list is MULTIPLE-VALUE-LIST.

Ex:
    (MULTIPLE-VALUE-LIST (DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME my-universal-time))

NB: Since MCL 2.0, multiple value contructs are resolved syntacticaly
    by the compilator. What this means is that using multiple values
    in your programs, incurs no time or space overhead. You just get
    nice abstraction capabilities.

    Congratulations to the MCL team for this very nice improvement.
