Are you really trying to solve the printf(fmt, arg1 arg2 arg3) problem, or
just the variable length arguments?
Do you want to pass an array reference or an array?
The Inline::C-Cookbook has a good example for using Inline_Stack_Vars and such
to deal with arrays, but the generic printf emulation implies a lot more
about typemaps and unpacking each element of the list.
