Varargs protococol impls can be defined but not called

Description

The compiler accepts this:

(deftype foo []
clojure.lang.IFn
(invoke [this & xs]))

However calling ((foo.) :bar) will throw an AbstractMethodError. Wouldn't some checking be desirable?

Environment

None

Hey Stu, do you mind to explain why you've declined the patch?

Hi Victor, this revamped patch removes the double-negation and is more concise and clearer as a result. So your comment wasn't as silly as you thought.

Pardon the silly contribution, but the added methods' usage of double-negations (when-not ...) seems unnecessary.
