Greetings! Thought it wise to post a short note on the multiple value type meaning used by the compiler at the moment. As Bob had noted earlier, '(values t t) probably gives no information at all about the function according to the ansi spec. For this reason, we are handling values types separatly outside of subtypep and inside the compiler so as not to run afoul of the spec, but with a semantics more useful to the compiler. Namely, (values t) == t, (values) == nil, (values x y z) == (values x y z null), (type-and '(values integer keyword) '(values fixnum symbol t)) == '(values fixnum keyword), (type-or '(values integer keyword) '(values fixnum symbol character)) == '(values integer symbol (or null character)). In other words, these follow what a multiple value binding or setq could expect for a variable assignment.
BTW, if anyone is experiencing an occasional segfault on calls to random, please let me know, especially if they can be reliably reproduced. I need to post a note to gmp-devel about this. This should pertain to the latest gmp library only.
