If you want to say
(MULTIPLE-VALUE-BIND LAMBDA-LIST values-form ...)
you can always say instead
(multiple-value-call #'(lambda LAMBDA-LIST ...) values-form)
The proverbial good compiler can still do the optimization you
mentioned. If you don't like the syntax (and who could blame you), you
could always make a macro for it.
