;; I originally wrote this as a define-macro, but then I found out
;; that guile's gensym/gentemp was broken, so I tried rewriting it as
;; a syntax-rules statement.
;;
;; Since syntax-rules didn't seem powerful enough to implement
;; let-values in one definition without exposing illegal syntax (or
;; perhaps my brain's just not powerful enough :>).  I tried writing
;; it using a private helper, but that didn't work because the
;; let-values expands outside the scope of this module.  I wonder why
;; syntax-rules wasn't designed to allow "private" patterns or
;; similar...
;;
;; So in the end, I dumped the syntax-rules implementation, reproduced
;; here for posterity, and went with the define-macro one below --
;; gensym/gentemp's got to be fixed anyhow...
