Can array-ref return (values ...) ? Brad Lucier 19 Feb 2002 16:40 UTC

I'm trying to put together an implementation of arrays that will serve
my current purposes.  At one point, I basically wanted

(array-ref a i j k ...)

to return (values ...).

So I looked at this SRFI and it doesn't seem that this is a real problem
(OK, it would be a problem with array-set!, but perhaps one wants read-only
arrays without array-set! to be possible.)

How pervasively does one want multiple values to insinuate itself into
the rest of the language?
