I was also thinking about such things. I don't like the idea of making #... return the number of arguments. I'm thinking about something like this:
function f1(args...) -- variable parameters tuple named 'args'
 for i = 1, #args do
 print(args[i])
 end
 args[1] = 5 -- why not? (out-of-bound case would generate an error)
return args... -- using the tuple name followed by "..." expands it into all values -- "return args" or print(args) would issue a syntax error, because 'args' isn't a real variable
end
Now, this can be expanded further:
function f2()
 local r... = pcall(f1)
 if not r[1] then
 print("error: "..r[2])
 end
 return r...
end
