FWIW, that was purely to allow checking for forced values without
incurring the cost of `list?`. It might be good to add a special case
for single values, too; that was just more code, so I didn't.

I don't have an opinion on the question of threads, but do think
supporting MVs "properly" (i.e. without pushing it onto the user) is a
Good Thing.
