From @cognominal

[11​:46​:54] <cognominal> is there a reason why take accepts only one argument?
[11​:48​:08] <moritz_> not really
[11​:48​:15] <Tene> I expect that the behavior of what that would mean
isn't specified.
[11​:48​:16] <moritz_> it should take a raw capture, and pass that on
[11​:48​:26] <Tene> Sounds reasonable.
[11​:50​:22] <pmichaud> > say gather for 1 { take (1,2,3) }
[11​:50​:22] <pmichaud> 123
[11​:50​:32] <moritz_> that's not the same
[11​:50​:42] <moritz_> take (1, 2, 3) vs take 1, 2, 3
[11​:50​:46] <pmichaud> yes, I know.
[11​:51​:04] <pmichaud> take should have the same signature as return
[11​:51​:40] <cognominal> should I masak that? I mean, file a bug?
[11​:52​:01] <moritz_> yes, please
[11​:52​:38] <pmichaud> src/builtins/control.pir, line 220
[11​:52​:46] <pmichaud> .param pmc value
[11​:52​:48] <pmichaud> should be
[11​:52​:53] <pmichaud> .param pmc value :slurpy
[11​:53​:50] <pmichaud> and then do the same processing as in &return above
[11​:54​:28] <pmichaud> in many ways, both &return and &take are the
same, what differs is the type of exception thrown.

This appears to have been fixed in 43c38f6f (moritz++) -- assigning
ticket to moritz for spectest verification.
