Progress doesn't work with * arguments

[bonlime]

Describe the bug

When the gradio app becomes really big, it's very convenient to accept all args through *args syntax. But in this case the progress bar doesn't show up. Below is slightly modified version from docs which doesn't work.

import time
import gradio as gr

def reverse(word, *args, progress=gr.Progress()):
    print(args)
    progress(0, desc="Starting")
    time.sleep(1)
    new_string = ""
    for idx, letter in enumerate(word):
        time.sleep(0.25)
        new_string = letter + new_string
        progress(1 / len(word) * (idx + 1), desc="Reversing")
    return new_string

demo = gr.Interface(reverse, [gr.Text(), gr.Number(), gr.Number()], gr.Text())
demo.queue().launch()

re-arranging inputs to be: def reverse(word, progress=gr.Progress(), *args): solves the problem, but is not very obvious. Maybe just adding this fact to the docs would help.
