Just to expand on that a bit, you can declare external
C functions which take variable parameters, and you can
call them.

What there isn't any explicit support for yet is using
the varargs facilities (va_start, va_arg etc) to step
through variable argument lists and process them.

That's not to say it can't be done -- chances are you
could declare these as though they were functions, and
use typecasts liberally. I haven't tried, though.
