I don't like the "values-> ..." convention. That it has to be syntax
is a minor thing. The problem is that we use "... -> ..." when mapping
objects of one type to objects of another type. However, there is such
a thing as a "values" type. Assuming this leads to all the confusion
we have had on the mailing list of SRFI 189 and also here, I think.
