 The `Varargs` constructor just creates an `Expr[Seq[T]]` which we can efficiently splice as a varargs.
-In general, any sequence can be spliced with `$mySeq: _*` to splice it as a varargs.

 ## Quoted patterns
 Quotes can also be used to check if an expression is equivalent to another or to deconstruct an expression into its parts.
