Ok, that's another.

Plain /*VARARGS*/ works, although it disables type checking of ALL
the arguments.  Note that the varargs specification does NOT permit
any formal parameter besides va_alist.  Even if the first argument
always has the same type, you're required to pick it up via the
va_arg macro like all the rest.
