Yes. I understand from the family Java expert that (surface syntax
issues aside) the second is similar to the way Java does this, in fact,
so there's some precedent. That would mean that your first would
actually mean each variadic arg has to be an array of ints, which we
might well want to provide for.
So with that modification I'll be lots happier with the feature.
