Re: [PATCH] Function parameters support

Hi!

  This is a *great* start, but can you please add support for $* as well as a 
shift operator (though shift is not as useful when there are no looping 
constructs) so I can do something like this:

function old_multiboot {
  multiboot $1 $*
  # or
  kern=$1
  shift
  multiboot $kern $kern $*
}

 (This duplicates the first argument, important for booting multiboot kernels 
that need to see the name of the multiboot kernel file).

   Also: Do you think there's value in supporting $0, where that 
expands to the function name?

 Thanks!
