I tried `i lambda list', which took me to `Lambda Components'. But there's nothing there that explains the lambda list `(ARG-VARIABLES...)'. And no link to any doc that explains/describes it. I tried `i defun', which took me to `Defining Functions'. But again, there's nothing there that explains ARGS (syntax, meanings, etc.). And no link to any doc that explains/describes that argument list. Finally, I tried `i arg TAB', and used `argument lists, features', which took me to `Argument List', which provides the description. This is also what's typically called a "lambda list", FWIW. Please provide links from the first two topics to topic `Argument List', or otherwise provide the missing descriptions of `(ARG-VARIABLES...)' and ARGS.

That seems wrong. The content of the node is not "other" features about argument lists; it's just argument lists. As it says, it specifies "the complete syntax for an argument list". Complete, not just some "other". IMO it should be called `Argument List' or `Lambda List' or some such. It doesn't matter that it follows an introductory `Simple Lambda' node, whose full title is anyway `A Simple Lambda Expression Example'.

I tried `i lambda list', which took me to `Lambda Components'. But there's nothing there that explains the lambda list `(ARG-VARIABLES...)'. And no link to any doc that explains/describes it. I tried `i defun', which took me to `Defining Functions'. But again, there's nothing there that explains ARGS (syntax, meanings, etc.). And no link to any doc that explains/describes that argument list. Finally, I tried `i arg TAB', and used `argument lists, features', which took me to `Argument List', which provides the description. This is also what's typically called a "lambda list", FWIW. Please provide links from the first two topics to topic `Argument List', or otherwise provide the missing descriptions of `(ARG-VARIABLES...)' and ARGS.
