Oops, I was thinking C when I wrote that (have been writing C
the last few days) - in C++ you can have unnamed arguments if
you're not goind to use them within the function, so it's a
valid start for a function definition (but one that makes no
sense for a function with a variable number of arguments since
now you can't get at them because there's nothing you could
pass to va_start() as the second argument).

                         Regards, Jens
