Ok. This can be fixed pretty easily.

Yes, this is truth. However amd64 asm code already reads more pointers
from stack (when number of them is smaller then number of arguments
needed to pass via registers when doing function call), so I think that
this function can be documented that returns "minimal number of
arguments".

So it is really an issue?

Or should be function extended to skip all characters between [ and ]?
