At the very least, there should be informative warnings. I've been
documenting things like this here:

I think *both* cases should error, with a more informative error
message (such as listing the offending arguments).
Also, maybe (optional) warnings for cases such as:
"float 1 2 3" (equivalent to "float 1")
"float 1 a b" (equivalent to "float 1")
"symbol a b c" (equivalent to "symbol a")
"symbol a 1 2" (equivalent to "symbol a")
Any thoughts?
