<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the R5RS documentation on page 34 (section 6.4
on</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>call-with-values) the following example is given.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>(call-with-values (lambda () (values 4
5))<BR>
(lambda (a b) b))</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I can achieve the same effect with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> (apply (lambda (a b) b) ((lambda
() '(4 5))))</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm trying to think of a more complex example
where</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>"apply" couldn't synthesize the call-with-values
form</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>but can't. Is there something special about
call-with-values</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that can't be readily achieved with a similar "apply"
construct?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
