Gary, please make an option that if this compatibility variable is
:warn (or something similar). then a style-warning is issued when bind
thinks that it's an old VALUES syntax that is going to be interpreted
as a destructuring-bind. i'd suggest that to be the default value,
imho that would make the easiest transition for the users.

i remember when :values became mandatory and random spots in our code
expanded to something unexpected. in fact i sent the patch that
restored the old behavior after the refactor, but seems like that is
also biting people, so that's why i think that :warn should make it
clear what's going on.
