Yes, it returns the contents of a single element, but what are the contents
of a single element?  (I find it interesting that you used the word "contents"
rather than "content".  Either would be correct, of course.)  Can it be
(values a b)?  If not, why not?  And if not, perhaps it should be
documented to be not possible.
