I favor REST-ARGUMENT-EXTENT:GENERAL. In its current form it can
replace use of WITH-STACK-LIST, which I consider a major improvement.
Extended slightly to apply to other aggregates, it could replace
STACK-LET, another simplification.
Things to consider:
Should there be a form of this that makes the same guarantees about all
levels of structure? This would allow building trees with dynamic
extent.
It might be nice to have a form analogous to the use of THE with type
declarations for this declaration.
