| How about using the '(values <typespec>*)' declaration?

  although that is quite elegant, it is unfortunately not ANSI Common Lisp:

    This type specifier [values] can be used only as the value-type in a
    FUNCTION type specifier or a THE special form.  It is used to specify
    individual types when multiple values are involved.

  I think the usage that CMUCL made of this type specifier and declaration
  should be actively considered for the review of ANSI Common Lisp.
