@deffn {C Function} scm_c_value_ref (values, idx)
@deftypefn {C Function} SCM scm_c_values (SCM *base, size_t n)
@code{scm_c_values} is an alternative to @code{scm_values}. It creates
a new values object, and copies into it the @var{n} values starting from
@var{base}.
Currently this creates a list and passes it to @code{scm_values}, but we
expect that in the future we will be able to use more a efficient
representation.
@end deftypefn
@deftypefn {C Function} size_t scm_c_nvalues (SCM obj)
If @var{obj} is a multiple-values object, returns the number of values
it contains. Otherwise returns 1.
@end deftypefn
@deftypefn {C Function} SCM scm_c_value_ref (SCM obj, size_t idx)
Returns the value at the position specified by @var{idx} in
@var{values}. Note that @var{values} will ordinarily be a
@var{obj}. Note that @var{obj} will ordinarily be a
multiple-values object, but it need not be. Any other object
represents a single value (itself), and is handled appropriately.
