Certainly.

Not DSSSL, but more basic lambda lists such as the following, which
core's `define-values` doesn't support:

    (define-values a (values 1 2 3))
    (define-values (a . b) (values 1 2 3))

I initially added an alternative definition of `define-values` to the
egg that supports these cases, but ran up against #1132 in that it
wasn't used within let and lambda bodies. I hope to post a patch to
extend core's version shortly.

Cheers,

Evan
