FYI, what actually happens in Clojure if you attempt the first kind of code
is that function himem will be defined once, then redefined twice, ending
by being a function that takes 3 arguments only.  If you want a function
that takes multiple different arities, you must use either the latter way
of defining it, or if you want 'n or more arguments', the syntax (defn
himom [required-arg1 required-arg2 & optional-args] ...)
