(defn argcount
        ([] 0)
        ([x] 1)
        ([x y] 2)
        ([x y & more]
           (+ (argcount x y) (count more))))

Replace thisfn with argcount and it should work. That was just a
placeholder or something which Rich forgot to fix in the slides.

Or may be thisfn used to be something and doesn't exist anymore.
