That won't get you error checking.  The following expression should
signal an error, but with the implementation you posted, it's the
threshold into chaos:

(car (values 1 2 3))

Also: loading that won't make the repl handle things properly.

(As was pointed out to me last weekend, ML gets this right... *sigh*)
