Ugh, I wish _argptr/_arguments would go away completely.
There has to be a better way to handle variable numbers of arguments ... 
oh wait! there is!  You specify a *name* for the argument list, kinda 
like how the other variadic arguments work in D, the ones for templates.

_argptr/_arguments just look like a quick hack.  By far the most hackish 
looking thing in all of D.
