Research direction
Start by reading docs/concept-exercises.md, docs/rationale-for-v3.md, and docs/features-of-v3.md, then review the linked Anatomy of a Concept Exercise video. Create the variadic-functions structure under languages/clojure/exercises/concept, including the .docs files, .meta/design.md, .meta/Example.clj, the exercise source, and its test; done means it teaches the listed objectives without representer or analyzer changes.
