My vote is for USE-ACTUAL-ARGUMENT-TYPE for &rest args in function
specs. It may or may not damage the pure aesthetics of the language,
but, since the resulting code is easier to read and write, it seems
like an aesthetic improvement to me.
I would like to see a separate proposal for a parameterized LIST type
specifier; I think that it would be useful outside function specs.
