SOME and Multiple Values



    Is it reasonable to expect SOME to return multiple values? CLtL says:

    "SOME returns as soon as any invocation of predicate returns a non-nil
    value. SOME returns that value."

    What if the predicate returns multiple values?

No, for the same reason that OR returns only a single value for clauses
other than the last one.  That is, the implicit NULL test "consumes" the
values returned from the predicate, discarding all but the last one.
