I moved (defmvar $multiple_value_return nil) to before the first
usage of multiple_value_return. That seems to fix the problem for
me...So try it now.
There were a few parts of the hypergeometric code that were
easier to write in Maxima than CL, but I needed (wanted) a
Common Lisp-like scheme for returning multiple values. So:
(%i1) multiple_value_return : true$
(%o1) true
(%i2) multiple_values(a,b,c);
(%o2) multiple_values(a, b, c)
(%i3) multiple_value_return : false$
(%i4) multiple_values(a,b,c);
(%o4) a
Now that I'm unlikely to change this (there is some grueling code
surrounding all this), you all can tell me if it my scheme was a
big mistake :)
