You can switch to the global argument list using ":argglobal" and get the
argument list using argv(). Are you suggesting adding a separate function to
get the global argument list?
If you want to switch between global/local argument lists, you can do
something like the following (I know this is a workaround):
:let l = argv()
:argglobal
:let g = argv()
:arglocal
:exe "args " . join(l)
