While “independently” is a much better name than “perform”, I think it is still not quite right. If the evaluations are truly independent then they could be evaluated in parallel (at least in some interpretation of “independent”). Why not simply call it “out-of-order”?
By the way, why is this defined as syntax and not as a procedure? I would expect these to be equivalent due to the out-of-order evaluation of arguments in a procedure call:
(out-of-order A B C D E) = ((lambda rest (values)) A B C D E)
So you could
(define (out-of-order . rest) (values))
