-If <code>f</code> is variadic with final parameter type <code>...T</code>,
-then within the function the argument is equivalent to a parameter of type
-<code>[]T</code>. At each call of <code>f</code>, the argument
-passed to the final parameter is
-a new slice of type <code>[]T</code> whose successive elements are
-the actual arguments, which all must be <a href="#Assignability">assignable</a>
-to the type <code>T</code>. The length of the slice is therefore the number of
-arguments bound to the final parameter and may differ for each call site.
+If <code>f</code> is <a href="#Function_types">variadic</a> with a final
+parameter <code>p</code> of type <code>...T</code>, then within <code>f</code>
+the type of <code>p</code> is equivalent to type <code>[]T</code>.
+If <code>f</code> is invoked with no actual arguments for <code>p</code>,
+the value passed to <code>p</code> is <code>nil</code>.
+Otherwise, the value passed is a new slice
+of type <code>[]T</code> with a new underlying array whose successive elements
+are the actual arguments, which all must be <a href="#Assignability">assignable</a>
+to <code>T</code>. The length and capacity of the slice is therefore
