R4RS 6.8  (apply procedure list)             ==>  object
          (apply procedure object ... list)  ==>  object

The first form calls PROCEDURE with the elements of LIST as
the actual arguments. The second form is a generalization of
the first that calls PROCEDURE with the elements of the list
(append (list object ...) LIST) as the actual arguments.

(apply + (list 3 4))                   ==>  7

(define (compose f g)
  (lambda args (f (apply g args)))))
