nargs() was suppressed about the time of 7th Edition UNIX (1978)
and should not be used for anything these days.  It returned the
actual argument count, for use in functions taking a variable
number of arguments.  If nargs() had to be supported, it would
have an impact on the run-time architecture; many ofthose now
in use simply cannot support nargs().
