Forwarding is just a degenerate case of a more general problem of creating wrapper functions. The difference is that the wrapper can add or remove some parameters to/from the list...

More examples: ```dart typedef A=({int a, String b}); typedef B=(...A.*); typedef B=(...A.(* hide b)); typedef B=(int c, ...A.(* hide b)); typedef B=(...A.(* show b)); func(...A.*) {/*body*/} func(...A.(* hide a)) {/*body*/}...
