I think the basic rule has to be simply can the signature bind to
the remaining arguments. If not, we get a warning on unused arguments.
Just to put here an idea I sent on irc...
What if Signature.ACCEPTS set $/ with the matched

IIRC, that's a special syntactic form that only counts when it is on the

In addition to what Jonathan said, it is possible that the ability
to coerce multiple arguments depends on the type itself, since we
probably want to allow Foo(1,2,3) and such for listy types that
don't necessarily want to use the [1,2,3]

From a high-level perspective, the blackjack example seems perfect for

Nested heterogeneous junctions are extremely useful. For example, the
common factors of two numbers ($x and $y) are the eigenstates of:
