/**
 * Basically identical to rb_ary_new_form_values(), except it returns something
 * different when `argc` < 2.
 *
 * @param[in]  argc       Number of objects of `argv`.
 * @param[in]  argv       Arbitrary objects.
 * @retval     RUBY_Qnil  `argc` is zero.
 * @retval     argv[0]    `argc` is one.
 * @retval     otherwise  Otherwise.
 *
 * @internal
 *
 * What  is this  business?   Well,  this function  is  about `yield`'s  taking
 * multiple values.  Consider following user-defined class:
 *
 * ```ruby
 * class Foo
 *   include Enumerable
 *
 *   def each
 *     yield :q, :w, :e, :r
 *   end
 * end
 *
 * Foo.new.each_with_object([]) do |i, j|
 *   j << i                      # ^^^ <- What to expect for `i`?
 * end
 * ```
 *
 * Here, `Foo#each_with_object` is in fact `Enumerable#each_with_object`, which
 * doesn't know what would be yielded.  Yet, it has to take a block of arity 2.
 * This function  is used here, to  "pack" arbitrary number of  yielded objects
 * into one.
 *
 * If people want to implement their own `Enumerable#each_with_object` this API
 * can be handy.  Though @shyouhei suspects it is relatively rare for 3rd party
 * extension libraries  to have  such things.  Also  `Enumerable#each_entry` is
 * basically this function exposed as a Ruby method.
