Ah, so when the signature is expanded into the identifiers for the
define-values form, they are given the lexical context of the
signature?

This was all an endeavor to trim some slightly verbose unit invocation
syntax. When supplying a parameter for a unit, I seem to have several
options: In the following examples, our indefatigable unit foo@
requires an input of setup^ and exports foo^... and this email got far
too long to bother those who are not interested. I've collected
insights from the list into a blog posting here

Thank you all for the help!
