Umm, not so fast. I wasn't *proposing* anything, just expressing a theoretical possibility that is totally irrelevant for Chicken because of the way it works. > We could choose values and receive (or let-values) to be the primitive > calls and relegate call-with-values to the role of a somewhat > inefficient wrapper, included for the sake of conformance.

And Chicken functions never return at the C level: "returning" means calling the continuation function and passing it an argument. -- Evolutionary psychology is the theory John Cowan that men are nothing but horn-dogs, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan and that women only want them for their money.
