Spread problem with > 10 arguments

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

I'll give it a try in a bit.

I suspect that method handles will need to know about large numbers of
arguments, since you often need to pass in the same large signature to
a given adapter for all its component handles to receive them. For
example, guardWithTest; the test and fast path may not need all
arguments, and test may need different/additional ones, but the
arguments passed to them must be the same long list. Add to that a
language like Clojure, which has unboxed paths for up to 20
arguments...

Thanks for the find and fix :)
