hmm, gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall (version 2.6.3) gives me a warning

m.c:4: warning: ANSI C forbids use of compound expressions as lvalues

so I assume existing code that does this is technically broken. No idea
whether anybody uses such code. If multiple-value-assignment would only be
allowed to capture the results of a mutliple-value-returning function of
the matching arity, there would be no problems with existing code.
