I was not able to find documentation for procedure arity inspection for 
Chez or Scheme 48.  Please let me know if you have pointers.

I was able to find these:

http://larceny.ccs.neu.edu/doc/user-manual.html#id2536543
http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-ref/Arity.html
http://docs.plt-scheme.org/reference/procedures.html
http://practical-scheme.net/gauche/man/gauche-refe_54.html#SEC96
http://ironscheme.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Procedures
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/snd/s7.html

I'm interested in any other relevant links.

Thanks,
David
