But surely it's not appreciably harder, for the few uses of varargs
functions, to type the always correct
	void foo(va_alist)
		va_dcl
		{
		char *format;
		...
		format = va_arg(ap, char *);
		...
		}
instead of the sometimes incorrect
	void foo(format, va_alist)
		char *format;
		va_dcl
		{
		...
		...
		}
