@ -826,12 +826,13 @@ This function returns a new function which, when called, will call
@var{func} with the list of arguments composed from @var{args} and
additional arguments specified at the time of the call. If @var{func}
accepts @var{n} arguments, then a call to @code{apply-partially} with
@w{@code{@var{m} < @var{n}}} arguments will produce a new function of
@w{@code{@var{m} <= @var{n}}} arguments will produce a new function of
@w{@code{@var{n} - @var{m}}} arguments.
Here's how we could define the built-in function @code{1+}, if it
didn't exist, using @code{apply-partially} and @code{+}, another
built-in function:
built-in function:@footnote{Note that unlike the built-in function
this version accepts any number of arguments.}
