 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

 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:@footnote{Note that unlike the built-in function
-this version accepts any number of arguments.}
