Sorry, both (foo [bar zot] ...) and "doing low level stuff" sound a bit
too hypothetical for me to get a sense of what we're talking about.

More specifically I don't know of any use of advertized signature that
presents the args with a [...] notation, and I can't remember ever
needing a pretty arglist when working on "low-level stuff".
