The answer is "yes, but fundamentally no".
The reason it's fundamentally no, is that you'd need to answer questions
such as "how many arguments does cl-member take".

In most cases, the better approach is to do something else, such as:

    (condition-case
        (funcall thefunction arg1 arg2 ...)
      (wrong-number-of-arguments
        ...do-something-else...))
