Nobody said that there was any difficulty scanning an argument list,
either forward or backward in memory.  The problem is telling when
you have finished.  Either the *number* of arguments has to be
transmitted (PDP-11 Fortran style) or there has to be some unambiguous
marker for the end of the list.
