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. With a summary of the file names, and
which window/tab they are used in.
