Repetition of what it follows.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What does `...' follow? BODY.
Is BODY repeated? No.
For Emacs, `...' does not mean repetition of what it follows (per what Eli has
said). Instead, it means that what it follows is a &rest parameter.
For Emacs, (X BODY...) means the same as (X &rest BODY) and (X . BODY).
Which, as I said, is a legitimate, if unwise and unusual, choice.
It just needs to be spelled out in the doc.
Read the thread. I'm not going to repeat everything that has been said.
