Redirecting a funtion parameter to an other function is a quite common 
situation in programming. Here the question was forwarding *args 
parameter. Have you ever tried this and found the difference in cases:

def f(*args):
     x = g(args)  # how g sees arguments in this case
     x = g(*args) # and how it sees them in this case

I am happy with what Dennis Lee Bieber wrote in the second latest node 
in this chain. So luckily my "flattern" is not needed because the 
problem I had can be solved in the calling function.
