Suffice it to say, my package does not have that expressive power. I'd be happy to collaborate with you to design a good extension to my package so that this kind of accumulation is easier.

It is great generalization for for/fold 

But still missed something like this: 

(iter (for i in l) 
(if (oddp i) (collect i into a) (collect i into b)) 
(when (> i 10) 
(collect i into a)) 
(finally (return a b))) 

Or in your for/acc 
(for/acc ([:type append] [:type append]) 
([i (in-list l)]) 
(if (odd? i) (values (if (> i 10) (list i i) (list i)) null) 
(values (if (> i 10) (list i) null) (list i)))) 

I had to double condition and the result is not so transparent. 

Simple solution is: 

(define (make-collector init add post) 
(let ([a init]) 
(case-lambda 
[(val) (set! a (add val a)] 
[() a]))) 

(define (make-list-collector [init '()]) (make-collector init cons reverse)) 

(let ([a (make-list-collector)] 
[b (make-list-collector)]) 
(for ([i (in-list l)]) 
(if (odd? i) (a i) (b i)) 
(when (> i 10) (a i))) 
(values (a) (b))) 

But they say, that purity is the best and one should avoid set!... so this way is the dark way, isn't it?

You have hit limitations of the for/fold macros. I wrote an extension for controlling the way values get accumulated, along with post-processing like list reversal. Let me know what you think!

Where can I find style guide for these 

for/lists: 

I have to duplicate values names: 

(define-values ([(desc-args lengths add-data) 
(for/lists (desc-args lengths add-data) ([arg (in-list %args)]) 
....)) is it ok? Or better 
(define-values ([(desc-args lengths add-data) 
(for/lists (a b c) (...) ...)) 

? 

for/fold has no "return" clause. So I have to do 
(call-with-values 
(for/fold (acc1 acc2 sum) (...) ...) 
(lambda (acc1 acc2 sum) (reverse acc1) (reverse acc2) sum)) 

And for/list doesn't allow to add several items to resulting list in one round. 
Even with for/fold it gives 

(reverse 
(for/fold (acc) ([item (in-list list)]) 
(values (cons (get-val1 item) 
(cons (get-val2 item) acc))))) 

Awful, especially for reading. 

It is clumsy and unobvious. 
In Common Lisp iterate I could do 
(iter (...) 
(collect (foo) into acc1) 
(collect (bar) into acc2) 
(summing ... into sum) 
(finally (return acc1 acc2 sum))) 

http://common-lisp.net/project/iterate/doc/index.html 

Is there something similar?
