Now, *that* spelling to turn off the "implicit peek" behaviour in iterable
unpacking I quite like.

    arg_iter = iter(args)
    command, ... = arg_iter
    run_command(command, arg_iter)

Although again, the main downside would be that "..." here means something
rather different from what it means as a subscript element.

Cheers,
Nick.
