builtin functions can check their arguments to some extent. Interesting to
wonder if user defined ones can.
we don't even have $(equals) or a way to know the number of arguments that
were supplied or any mathematical operations with which to compare. So when
something is called wongly it charges on

and is a textbook case of how to *not* handle a transition.
It's not that Python3 is bad (I use it), but its transition

You can make functions that do the work of $(filte
If you can't make first-class functions that are the equal of $(filter) or
$(subst) or whatever, or indeed replace them, then it seems like a bit of a
fudge for the sake of 4 characters.
