bug#64328: 28.2; describe-function shows wrong arguments

[tom]

Hi,

I have noticed that describe-function sometimes shows wrong arguments.
Example:

(describe-function 'call-process-shell-command)

shows

(call-process-shell-command COMMAND &optional INFILE BUFFER DISPLAY)

but the function is defined as follows:

(defun call-process-shell-command (command &optional infile buffer display
                                           &rest args)

Cheers,

Tomas
