It's still this week, isn't it? :-) As a Guile newbie, I found the behavior related to multiple values to be very confusing at first. I've tried to explain things in a way that is accurate, easy for a newbie to understand, and points the curious reader to appropriate resources for further reading. Hopefully, this small contribution will help to clarify the behavior for future Guile newbies. For reference, this patch is follow-up to the following email thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-06/msg00043.html -- Chris
