Description
By defining primitives as syntax that would normally accept optional or rest arguments (like "*"), multi-argument signatures could be made possible in most cases. So, for example, (* a b c) could expand into a (nested) call to some 2-arity multiplication primitive.

Crunch uses a different expander. I'm not even sure if crunch works as is in 5.0. Let's leave this for a moment.

A similar patch has just been submitted to -hackers for CHICKEN 5. I don't know if this can be used by crunch though.
