As I said in the "getting signatures out of experimental" thread, I'm OK
with @_ removal because I don't consider it a dramatic change.
Overwhelming majority of signatured subs don't use @_ and those that do
can be modified to stop using it.

If there was an alternative to @DB::args, my stance on its removal
would've been different.
