Description Andrej Mitrovic 2019-10-04 01:34:59 UTC 
I often find myself wanting to forward arguments to another function, most commonly for logging. For example:

-----
void setupTimer ( ulong index, ulong timer_id, Duration duration )
{
    log.trace(__FUNCTION__, index, timer_id, duration);

    ...
}
-----

But I always have to pass the parameters manually. It would be very convenient if I could write it like this:

-----
void setupTimer ( ulong index, ulong timer_id, Duration duration )
{
    log.trace(__FUNCTION__, __PARAMETERS__);

    ...
}

I've renamed the keyword to __ARGS__, as I think that makes more sense. It's not in use currently right?
