I delete SF expansions in the host. Deleting them from the source
code only removes them from the cross-compiler.
I delete them in the host so that it will generate a cross compiler
compatible with the new runtime (in which VALUES is a procedure).
So I see. See follow-up, message-id
<address@hidden>.

The old implementation of values creates a closure, on the heap. What
variables move around on the stack?
I didn't think LIAR knew anything about whacky continuations. Even if
it did, it wouldn't know the arity of the current continuation until
runtime, so it couldn't be generating code to magic the stack.
LIAR didn't, but SF did. It would transform
(receive (x y z) (values a b c)
...)
into
(let ((x a) (y b) (z c))
...)
and thereby avoid the closure altogether. That's what the integration
you're deleting did.
