From the same manual;
Also as lua_load, this function only loads the chunk; it does not run it.

So whether it accepts arguments depends on how the chunk is loaded, with what function signature
If with 'function my_chunk(...)'  then I could use the vararg in the lua code
If with 'function my_chunk()' then the Lua code will never receive any arguments

I guess I'll have to go and try that.
