Prepackaged function args

[boblatest]

Hello group,

suppose I've got a function f() that takes N parameters, and a list
(or tuple) arg[] with N elements that I'd like to pass as parameters.
The straightforward function call looks like this:

result = f(arg[0], arg[1], ..., arg[N-1])

Is there a less verbose way of accomlishing this?

Thanks,
robert
