Any number of arguments can be replaced by a variadic one, so
long as the variadic argument is compatible (in the sense of
contravariance) with the subsumed arguments.
In particular this means that function(...$args) becomes a
near-universal signature: It is compatible with any function
signature that does not accept parameters by-reference.
This also fixes bug #70839, which describes a special case.
Closes GH-5059.
