Is '*args' useful in this example code?

[Robert]

Hi,

I find an example code on wrap at this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/308999/what-does-functools-wraps-do

Here is the code:
////////
def logged(func):
    def with_logging(*args, **kwargs):
        print func.__name__ + " was called"
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return with_logging
///////

I understand now, but I feel the args usage is weird. I don't see any way 
to use *args and **kwargs in above code. What is your opinion on it?


Thanks,
