The original definition (from scsh, so its copyright applies) is

   (define-syntax receive
     (syntax-rules ()
       ((receive (?var ...) ?producer . ?body)
        (call-with-values (lambda () ?producer)
          (lambda (?var ...)
            (note-name! ?var '?var) ...
            (let () . ?body))))))
