Maybe with list splicing so you don't have to insert the list parameters at the end?

  (let numbers '(4 6 3)
    (+ 3 @numbers 7))

  [foo 'a 'b @^ 'c]

Yes, by all means. Here, I was talking about currying, though, so splicing was not a concern.

I'm not quite sure whether @ should be allowed to reuse the list when used at the end, but I believe it would be most correct not to. So (like mentioned several times before) the dot notation means cons, while @ means splice, which is not the same thing, even when used at the end of the surrounding list.
