I question the general usefulness KMP's proposed NTH-VALUE form. In
most cases where the user wants just one value, he wants the first one.
If he wants some interior value, he is likely to be using
MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND instead of MULTIPLE-VALUE. So it seems to me that
there would be very few places where NTH-VALUE would be useful.
