This method would break the REBOL syntax, which depends on
functions having a fixed number of arguments. This is so
that we don't need
Hi:
You wouldn't need to pass the number of args:
Just get the length of the block from within the function body
i.e:
test: func[args[block!] /local num-args]
[
num-args: length? args
print num-args
foreach arg args [print type? arg]
]
test ["one" 2 3:00]

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
