Oh, my.  I feel there's some gigantic misunderstanding here, most
probably due to my wording.  Sorry about that.  Let me try again.

Could you please elaborate on the incorrect behavior in the example
you provided?  You wrote:

> (foo "prompt: " bar :b 2)

Can you please point out which positional arguments are wrongly
highlighted, and in which one of these two lines?
