The signature in Common Lisp (which is more or less the _common_ ground of several Lisps from the 70s & 80s) is this: (apply function arg &rest more-args) I don't see why Emacs Lisp should be different. Is there a good reason? Is there some advantage to being able to do just (apply #'foo)? Why do we use this signature: (apply FUNCTION &rest ARGUMENTS) https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node81.html
