<mwette>Do people prefer SRFI-71 (extended let) over SRFI-11 (let-values)? Any loss in effiency for the basic case?
<leah2>srfi-8 :)
<mwette>I usually just write call-with-values for that because I'm too lazy to naviate to the top of the module and write the use-modules form.
<mwette>Most cases one `receive' works, but sometimes I need multiple ones.
<old>mwette: lol I do the same
<old>I always use call-with-values, because it it actually not that bad and I'm lazy
<old>tho, if ice-9 receive were to be moved to boot-9, I would use it
<old>s/tho/although
<mwette>old: me too, and I'm seeing the beauty of SRFI-71 now
<ray1729>I didn't know about SRFI-71 until yesterday, but having looked at it I can see it would be very useful when you have a mix of single- and multi-value returns in a let.
<old>maybe I ought to have the reflex to import srfi-71 along 26 and 1
