With the proposed query parameter syntax, any remaining args can be copied
(or aliased) into an array without actually being consumed. For example a
sub with a self and 3 optional coordinate arguments might look like:
sub display_point($self, ?@point, $x=0, $y=0, $z=0) {
....;
if ($self->{parent}) {
no warnings;
local @_ = ($self->{parent}, @point);
goto &display_point;
}
}
if called as $self->(10,20), then
$x = 10
$y = 20
$z = 0
@point = (10,20)
