Hmm, it's a bit strange to have this as a function. Otherwise setting the argument list is done with commands. E.g. :argglobal is similar, but always switches to the global argument list. We could use :{nr}arglocal instead. The question is where the user gets the {nr} from. When using arglistid() this requires using :exe. I think we need a command to list all the arglists. For a user who actually uses multiple arglists it would indeed be useful to list the ones that are in use.
