There's no interfaces, that's the function definition.
define function max
(defn max
attach docstring
"Returns the greatest of the nums."
attach metadata
{:added "1.0"}
if max is called with one argument, use this function definition
([x] x)
if max is called with two arguments, use this function definition
([x y] (if (> x y) x y))
if max is called with more than two arguments, use this function definition
([x y & more]
(reduce max (max x y) more)))
___________
As you can see, y is introduced in one of the functions definitions.
