I see now through disassembly of such byte-coded functions that the
byte-compiler discards the actual names of the arguments and the
disassembler just outputs placeholders for them. Why not preserve the
argument signature as is done for functions with a fixed number of
arguments? In Lisp, we should be able to reason about compiled code
too, right?
