I don't see how, from my reading of the proposal.

It doesn't matter that much if write() does not give a compile time error, as 
this is normal and accepted for variadic functions. But as you've characterized 
it as a fatal error, the YAIDIP spec should be improved to address it.

If it's trivial, then please fix the proposal.

BTW, it's normal to uncover errors like this in a proposal for a new feature.
