There is quite an interesting symmetry between multiple values and
function arguments.

And of course, that's because, if you think of CPS-transforming
things, they are in fact exactly the same thing: values are the
arguments you pass to your continuation. This must be well-known,
though I've only just realised it.

In Scheme, multiple-values can only be handled by a function.
