Are WITH- macros normally written to return all values of the last
body form, or is it okay to discard all but the first value?

Definitely return all of the values.  Magically discarding all
but the first will screw you, or someone, someday.

In general, the body of a WITH- macro invocation is usually an "implicit
PROGN", so it should behave like PROGN.
