I've already asked for this in the past (see email: "feature

__ARGS__ for logging (cf __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNC___):

wise with another proposal I made "proposal: a new string
litteral to embed
variables in a string" ):

So let's either get a roadmap for introducing AST macros
(preferred) or
let's allow this very simple __ARGS__ in the language.
Agreed. I did think that AST macro's may present a solution, also
the __ARGS__ solution is a good possibility too. I use
__PRETTY_FUNCTION__ a lot now that we finally got it, and
__ARGS__ would be an excellent addition that I would definitely
use.
If AST macros can allow us to define library solutions to create
something like __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ and __ARGS__, that would be
the ultimate solution for sure.
