most likely not, as there is no such object in zexy
(there is one in iemlib though, which you probably mean; iemguts comes
with it's own version of the object)

well, it seems like this is something that can be done via externals,
but hardly via abstractions, hence the existence of [dollarg] and the like.

otoh, you can test whether a certain named argument is present and use this.
