What this patch is doing is not changing the actual representation of
the arguments in the front-end as your work has been for the
back-ends, but rather to modify the front-end so that it doesn't need
to construct a temporary TREE_LIST for the processed arguments in
favour of using argument arrays so, unfortunately, the infrastructure
changes you have made to support your work are not applicable in this
particular instance.

Cheers,
Lee.
