     Permits the number of actual arguments passed to a subprogram to
     differ from the number of formal arguments. Any actual arguments
     without a corresponding formal argument are passed by value, with
     no data-type conversion.
 
     The subprogram must perform its own checking to verify the number
     of arguments received.
 
     Restrictions: Applies only to subprograms declared with the C
