methods with variable number of arguments

Hello all.

Say I have a procedure, I can always have variable number of arguments by using the @rest keyword.

Can one do the same in defmethod?

Thanks.

    Yes. You can’t specialise on anything other than required arguments, and you really need to use @rest on all of the methods in a generic function to ensure that the argument signatures match, but yes, you can do this.
