Lua:

function takes_multiple_args(...)
  local arg_table = arg -- arg is a magic/automatic variable
  for i=1,getn(arg_table) do print(arg_table[i]) end -- print them out
end

takes_multiple_args()
takes_multiple_args(1,2,"buckle my shoe")
takes_multiple_args("three",4, {"heres", "some", "more"})
takes_multiple_args(6,"seven",8, "Lua is great")
