Hi Julian, thanks for working on this!

Should this verify that `obj' is a values object?

Should it verify that `idx' can fit in an inum?

Also, if `obj' is _not_ a values object and `idx' is 0, should this
simply return `obj'?  Since a single value is conceptually no different
than multiple values (but is represented very differently within Guile),
I'd think that this function should handle that case gracefully.

What do other people think?

    Thanks,
