[CM] optional arguments in Scheme

Hello,

I am having a hard time understanding optional arguments 
in Scheme and could use a little help.
I want to pass optional arguments, without having to write 
the keywords and it seems that in that 
case "&optkey" becomes an argument!...


(define* (hiho a &optkey (b 0) (c 0))
  (+ a b c))

(hiho 1 12)

=> 1

(hiho 1 12 1 1)

=> 3

Neither s7 documentation nor Common Music's reference 
or examples give an overview of the syntax 
for optionals and rests arguments. Could you be kind enough 
to point me the right direction? :)
Thank you!
