we know that it also has its drawbacks.


Yes, I would prefer "allValues (\_ -> exp)" which looks a little more
awkward but avoids the most serious drawback, in my opinion. Providing
findall or allValues is just a matter of convenience, because

    allValues f = findall (\x -> f () =:= x)
    findall p = allValues (\_ -> let x free in p x &> x)

These definitions would work in all Curry systems while "allValues exp"
would not work in MCC. Not sure about KiCS2.

Best regards,
Sebastian
