Interface Application

 Application

The public interface to an application AG element.

Example: f(a, b, c) where f is an expression that has to evaluate to a closure.

It is allowed to use splicing in the argument list, for example f(a, @[b, c]) or f(a, @t).

Note that o.f(a, b, c) is not represented with this interface, but rather with the combination of an MessageSend and an MethodInvocationCreation.
