Coming from CL I was surprised by this, but as far as I understand,
there is no such limit.  Apply can work even with infinite seqs of
arguments!

false

As far as I can tell, the trick is that when you use "&" in your fn
arglist, the remaining arguments are bound to it as a lazy seq.  On
each call, only as many arguments as you explicitly declare are
actually evaluated.
