Or maybe we want the values, and don't care about the *list* at all, and
as such the *list* is superfluous to our original goal of grabbing the two
values and examining them for use immediately? If we want to store them,
of course we can package them, but it is a mistake, IMO, to assume that
everyone wants to store these values, since the normal usages I can see
from them is not storing them.
