I see the point about how difficult it would be with Rebol, but in other languages, no, it's not that difficult - and in fact using Rebol to analyze another programming language would probably make it a lot easier. I used to do this using Rexx on IBMs to analyze C and assembler programs -

Passing in a block would probably be the best (most generic) solution. If you have a fixed number of parameters that you could receive, but at times you don't need to pass them all in, you could surround your parameters with parenthesis (in the function call) then check for values of the dummy
