-;;; Commentary:
-
-;; Implementation of SRFI-16. `case-lambda' is a syntactic form
-;; which permits writing functions acting different according to the
-;; number of arguments passed.
-;;
-;; The syntax of the `case-lambda' form is defined in the following
-;; EBNF grammar.
-;;
-;; <case-lambda>
-;; --> (case-lambda <case-lambda-clause>)
-;; <case-lambda-clause>
-;; --> (<signature> <definition-or-command>*)
-;; <signature>
-;; --> (<identifier>*)
-;; | (<identifier>* . <identifier>)
-;; | <identifier>
-;;
-;; The value returned by a `case-lambda' form is a procedure which
-;; matches the number of actual arguments against the signatures in
-;; the various clauses, in order. The first matching clause is
-;; selected, the corresponding values from the actual parameter list
-;; are bound to the variable names in the clauses and the body of the
-;; clause is evaluated.
