How about this idea, which is about something different but may be
related. Allow your argument list to be divided among the identifier.

If you would define a component as something like an identifier but
without an underscore and then define an identifier as a number
of components attached to each other with underscores you then could
allow a function to have part of its arguments between components.

Something like:

  copy_to(a,b)

  could then also be written as:

  copy(a)to(b)
