OK, but better (and much more difficult) to do
a function/macro which is used like this,
NB with no string or quotes to protect the
original symbols:

    (vars-and-values var-1 ... var-n)

which should give a list:

    (var-1 var-1-value ... var-n var-n-value)

or

    ((var-1 var-1-value) ... (var-n var-n-value))

Do it today - in a different way :)
