+The first signature reads processes arguments passed in the ``args...``.
+This may be used in either a :command:`macro` or a :command:`function`.
+
+The ``PARSE_ARGV`` signature is only for use in a :command:`function`
+body. In this case the arguments that are parsed come from the
+``ARGV#`` variables of the calling function. The parsing starts with
+the Nth argument, where ``N`` is an unsigned integer. This allows for
+the values to have special characters like ``;`` in them.
The ``<options>`` argument contains all options for the respective macro,
i.e. keywords which can be used when calling the macro without any value
