Note that the binary encoding chapter still needs updating for this as well as the prior removal of grouped parameters.
Description of changes:
Updated the spec to remove the bespoke rest cardinalities; "rest parameter" is now an optional, implicit capability of final * and + parameters.
The "Macros by Example" chapter should probably be revisited and rearranged to account for this. Currently, it introduces ... long before cardinality as a concept, which at the time felt like an easier order to introduce things. Now that rest-parameters isn't a separate concept from cardinality, things would probably flow better introducing cardinality early on, then rest invocations later.
