def pytest_funcarg_factory(request):
    if request.funcargname == 'foo':
        return object()
    elif request.funcargname == 'bar':
        return object()
    else:
        raise KeyError()

And when it raises a KeyError (or does not exist) it would fall back
to the normal pytest_funcarg__name functions.  So using a factory like
this would still be the exception rather then the rule, most funcargs
would come from pytest_funcarg__name functions.
