<multiple-value-or.patch>
Eek, fe[nl]ix told me about a brain fart in that patch: I am using apply #'values instead of values-list. Here's an updated patch:
Thank you! Merged, but as NTH-VALUE-OR instead, as it seems to represent the intention better. In my mind MULTIPLE-VALUE-OR would be something like (values-list (or (every #'identity (multiple-value-list form1)) ...) or maybe (values-list (or (let ((values (multiple-value-list form1))) (and (car values) values)) ...)) Also: perhaps we should return only N first values from all but the last form? That would allow implementation without consing up a values list for each form. Are there cases where one wants N+M values, but tests only the Nth one? Cheers, -- Nikodemus
