In Programming in Nu#Operators:262 inferring the arguments from the list position could introduce some misunderstanding.
This PR is a result of my own misunderstanding (see issue #2003) in how a list was spread. I recognize that my misunderstanding was not a result of a lack of clarity, but that I simply did not understand how it operated, and had not properly scrutinized the following examples.
However, I do believe that this makes things clearer, at the risk of being needlessly tedious. This is left for your consideration.
