; A version of LET and LET* which allows clauses that return multiple values.
;
; MV = multiple-value
;
; (mvlet (<clause> ...) <body>)
; (mvlet* (<clause> ...) <body>)
;
; <clause> ::= (<ids> <expression>)
; <ids> ::= <id> | (<id> ...) | (<id> ... . <id>)
;
; A clause of the form (<id> <exp>) is like a normal LET clause.  There is no
; clause equivalent to
;   (call-with-values (lambda () <expression>)
;                     (lambda <id> <body>))
