Ah, OK, thanks.  However, that's only if you use the dot notation,
implying in your source code *that you want a list*.  This case isn't
covered by MULTIPLE-VALUE-LET/RECEIVE.  For the cases these do cover,
LET-VALUES generates equivalent code with no list allocation.  Does
this address your concern?
