Question about IGNORE:

(defun foo (x)
  (declare (ignore x))
  :ignored)

After compiling the function in KCl, I then do this:

>(foo)
:IGNORED

>(foo 1 2 3 4 5 6)
:IGNORED

Is this the right behavior? Should FOO complain about too many or too few
arguments, or can I count on this happening in all CL's? Steele doesn't
seem to have anything to say about it.
