It is worth pointing out that the current state of Guile is inconsistent
regarding the return value of control structures: one primitive control
structure builder is call/cc, and its normal use does not return
*unspecified* but (values):

scheme@(guile-user)> (call-with-values (lambda () (call/cc (lambda (exit) (exit)))) list)
$5 = ()
