In clojure-py we have to pass vararg arguments as tuples. So it ends
up a lot like

(to-tuple (concat args seqarg))

I always saw the seq argument in IFn as a crutch to get around the "we
have too many vars to pass to this function" problem. Basically, since
the JVM doesn't support lazy varargs, Clojure doesn't either.
