How about a syntax to define a function that takes an unlimited number
of arguments of _one_, strictly defined type? Something like this:

    void printfi(int count, int...);    // takes unlimited number of ints
    void printfs(int count, char[]...); // takes unlimited number of strings

That would not be far from simply taking a dynamic array of those types.  That
can already be done; question is, it it worth having the compiler do it for you?

If we have array literals, no. It'd look like this, then:

    printfi([1, 2, 3]);

But we don't have them and we don't know if they'll be there or not.
