Comment(by johnbillion):

 Replying to [comment:4 scribu]:
 > @johnbillion: thanks for the suggestion. I abstracted a smaller portion,
 to keep it more flexible. See add_meta_box.2.diff
 Nice one. Pedantic improvement if this goes in: no need for
 `func_num_args` and `func_get_args` to be assigned to variables (as
 they're only used once each), they can be used in place.

 Maybe another ticket can be opened to identify other candidate functions
 for this treatment. I know it was brought up on wp-hackers a while ago.
 Certainly functions where more than half the parameters are optional would
 benefit from working like this.
