Computes and reports a value
When run by the runresult
primitive or other primitives which take
anonymous reporters as arguments, this is run on the Job Thread.
Before invoking this, the NetLogo primitives which use anonymous reporters
will check that the number of arguments contained in args
is
at least as long as the number of arguments specified by
the tasks syntax method.
It is a user error to run report
with fewer args
than specified.

Used to specify the number of arguments required to run an anonymous procedure.
Used to specify the number of arguments required to run an anonymous procedure.
Note that an anonymous procedure may be supplied with more arguments
depending on the number of arguments supplied to run/runresult.
This only used to calculate argument count at the moment.
Note that anonymous procedures as created by ->
are
variadic in the number of arguments they accept. For
instance, the anonymous procedure returned by [[x y] -> x + y]
can be run with 10 arguments and the last 8 will be ignored.
The current versions only makes assertions that the number of arguments is
greater than the syntax minimum.
Future versions may make greater use of the information provided by
syntax
. Primitives returning anonymous procedures will want to ensure the
anonymous procedure's syntax is not more restrictive than the expected argument(s).
