Forgot to mention - the patch is very much incomplete. It breaks tests,
contains none of the work that would need to be done in the ast package,
etc. This is just a proof-of-concept
with expressions
like foo(x, __), can we. OK, now I really give up on the whole idea!

Random idea of the day: How about having syntax support for
currying/partial function application, like this:
func(..., a, b)
func(a, ..., b)
func(a, b, ...)
That is:
1) Make an Ellipsis literal legal syntax in an argument list.
2) Have the compiler
, but
I do like the way it looks. The ... really stands out as saying
something is omitted here.
