I believe I understand what this is doing, but "if there is a single
argument" isn't entirely clear.  It does NOT mean "if there is a
single positional parameter in the call to this function" (which is
how I first read it, before I actually looked at the function
definition); rather it means "if there is more than one word in
argument position on the command line".

Which in turn means this can only be used for argument-rest contexts, correct?
