 This package is an implementation of said language, meant to be self-contained,
 portable and reusable.  Performance is specifically not an intent.

 Syntax
 ------
-Owing to its Scheme heritage, 'ell' is homoiconic, that is a program can be
-directly expressed using the language's data types.  There are only two of
-those: the list and the string.  Any numerical conversions are made on an
-as-needed basis.  Similarly, strings act like atoms/symbols when executed.

 Possible Ways of Complicating
 -----------------------------
- * `local [_a _b _rest] @*` would elegantly solve the problem of varargs
+ * `local [_a _b _rest] @*` would elegantly solve the problem of varargs,
+   that is, unpack a list when names are list, and make the last element a list
+   when there are more arguments than names
  * reference counting: currently all values are always copied as needed, which
    is good enough for all imaginable use cases, simpler and less error-prone
