This won't work.  You are applying "return" as a function, and as its
first argument, giving it two values.  Each argument position expects
only one value.  If you want to pass two values into an explicit
continuation the same way (values 1 2) passes two values into a
continuation, you want to use call-with-values like this:

(let/ec return (call-with-values (lambda () (values 1 2)) return))
