[racket-dev] for/first and multiple values

What do you propose for/first should return if the set s is empty?  It
will be somewhat difficult to make it divine that it ought to return
two values.  Perhaps, if this feature is adopted, for/first should
allow a #:default keyword to specify the return value if no elements
crop up, so you can put in the right number of values.
