That's just an example. But I think it is the best way to handle getting
args inside an abstraction because it obviates the need for all of the
"arg-getting" objects scattered about pd-extended, and it's more
flexible than any of them because you can expand the args directly in an
object box like [...@].
Then maybe "$...@4" could mean "everything from $4 to the last arg".
