So you can I keep forgetting about that.
Mainly coz I think its horrible and much prefer apply.
It fits with the functional model so much more nicely.

But there is no doubt it is less efficient and slightly 
less flexible. Certainly the *args/**kwargs nonsense is the 
official Pythonic route, no matter how ugly.
