But if add just returns the delta rather than the reference then
it's just:
with (a) numAdded = add(1,2,3) + add(b) + add(c[1..3]);
// (I'm hoping 'with' works like this! Can't test here)
or
numAdded = a.add(chain([1,2,3], b, c[1..3]);
(I'm assuming b was a range here, otherwise you could just add it
to the end of the first expression).
