originally i was gonna say it might be an artifact of the autodestructuring of arguments, but:

  arc> '(1 . 2 . 3)
  (2 1 3)
which reminded of a topic here regarding mzscheme and infix notation. apparently mzscheme uses the dot for infix, so:

  (a . + . b)
is the same as:

  (+ a b)
as you can see, this works directly from arc. so your function definition is the same as:

  (def huh? (n2 n n3) (prn n n2 n3))
i'm quite proud of myself for figuring this out

As well you should be -- that's pretty subtle.
