I suppose you could define the same function more than once with
different arguments and then call the appropriate one?

This can be done with my fptr library. It always takes an arbitrary number
of arguments. Rob's approach is a little more 'hard coded', so it wouldn't

Or even easier would be to use Euphoria's sprintf() function and pass it
to the library's puts()/textout() function...
