    Yes! I've been thinking the same thing. To make the user feel confident that the
    machine is giving him the arglist to foo instead of bar, the minibuffer printout
    should include the name of the fn too.It could just print a fn call of the fn
    with the argnames in place of the args. Example:
    (foo argname1 argname2 &optional argname3)

This is OK for FOO, but doesn't work as well for
DEFINE-PRESENTATION-TO-COMMAND-TRANSLATOR (a legitimate symbol in
the CLIM package), unless we all get much wider screens.
