Which is all well and good, but it simply didn't *work*, which is why I 
had to switch to the old method.

I'm fairly certain it was an interaction with varargs - attempts to 
iterate over the arguments failed because the iterators stopped whenever 
they encountered a nil argument.

Unfortunately, I'm currently too busy to track down an example :(
