Scott,

Note that the command-line form is a macro, not a function.  Functions
always take arguments the same way: any number of positional
arguments, interleaved with keywords that take exactly one argument.
Macros get to parse their own arguments, so they can interpret
keywords any way they want to.  In the case of command-line, all of
its arguments use keywords, so they can take any number of expressions
as arguments; it simply keeps parsing arguments until it gets to the
next keyword.

I hope that helps clear it up.
