;;; Commentary:

;; This module exports two syntax forms: let-values and let*-values.
;;
;; Sample usage:
;;
;;   (let-values (((x y . z) (foo a b))
;;                ((p q) (bar c)))
;;     (baz x y z p q))
;;
;; This binds `x' and `y' to the first to values returned by `foo',
;; `z' to the rest of the values from `foo', and `p' and `q' to the
;; values returned by `bar'.  All of these are available to `baz'.
;;
;; let*-values : let-values :: let* : let
;;
;; This module is fully documented in the Guile Reference Manual.

;;; Code:

(define-module (srfi srfi-11)
  :use-module (ice-9 syncase)
  :export-syntax (let-values let*-values))

(cond-expand-provide (current-module) '(srfi-11))

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; let-values
;;
;; Current approach is to translate
;;
;;   (let-values (((x y . z) (foo a b))
;;                ((p q) (bar c)))
;;     (baz x y z p q))
;;
;; into
;;
;;   (call-with-values (lambda () (foo a b))
;;     (lambda (<tmp-x> <tmp-y> . <tmp-z>)
;;       (call-with-values (lambda () (bar c))
;;         (lambda (<tmp-p> <tmp-q>)
;;           (let ((x <tmp-x>)
;;                 (y <tmp-y>)
;;                 (z <tmp-z>)
;;                 (p <tmp-p>)
;;                 (q <tmp-q>))
;;             (baz x y z p q))))))

;; 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...
