Re: [Fab-user] Simplified argument passed to a function?

[Jeff Forcier]

I'm pretty sure this is because the current argument parsing code only
does keyword args, but I'm also pretty sure there's no big reason why
it cannot be extended to support args too. I'll make sure we at least
have this as a todo item, after checking to make sure it's not already
in with some sort of alternate syntax than what you tried (or broken).
