+;;; The common-compiler-macros defined below are responsible for
+;;; rewriting many calls to integrable procedures that take a
+;;; variable number of arguments into a composition of calls
+;;; that take the standard number of arguments.  This is done
+;;; at a syntactic level, so it fails to rewrite things like
+;;; ((if #t + -) 1 2 3 4).  A later phase of the compiler turns
+;;; that into (+ 1 2 3 4), which looks like a call to a primop
+;;; with the wrong number of arguments.  To tell pass4 it should
+;;; generate a closed call instead of flagging that as an error,
+;;; the following table names all of the primops for which pass4
+;;; should generate a closed call if the number of arguments
+;;; looks wrong.
+;;;
+;;; FIXME: This is a tedious and error-prone way to fix the
+;;; problem reported by ticket #743.
+;;;
+;;; NOTE: fx+, fx-, and fx* are specified to accept exactly
+;;; two arguments.
