Yes, I should have mentioned it was not meant as real code, more-a-less
pseudo-code, sorry for the confusion (as in XPath you cannot declare named
functions, and this should be a feature of XPath, not XQuery, and be allowed
irrespective of whether the function is named or not).

You mean, for instance, that f:test#3 would return an infinite-arity function,
or that we forbid f:test#3 (and the overloads) if an infinite-arity function
exists?

I think, for orthogonality, it should work the same as fn:concat. Which means,
there's a single signature with infinite arity (no fixed arity overloads are
allowed), where, for instance, fn:concat#8 returns an eight-arity function
reference. And fn:concat("foo", ?, ?, ?) returns a three-arity function
reference with a single fixed parameter.
