Notes: The HoldRest attribute for a function causes all of the arguments to that function other than the first argument to be held unevaluated.
In[1]:= SetAttributes[f, HoldRest]
In[2]:= f[2 + 2, 2 + 2, 2 + 2]
Out[2]= f[4, 2 + 2, 2 + 2]
The HoldRest attribute is used for holding expressions unevaluated until they are passed along to the definition of the function.
