But that's only true for the variables which are explicitly destructured in
the function definition, which in my experience many are not - they're
often later picked out of an ":as args" argument, perhaps dependent on a
combination of the parameters which are explicitly destructured. Seesaw
never does this, for example. I think it's dangerous to rely on this rather
than the documentation since it's often an incomplete view of what the
function requires.

Cheers,
Colin
