Yes, the standard says "arguments" because there can be additional arguments
due to using `...`. However, think about the user experience:
```
// This should always be happily accepted because it's
// idiomatic C before C2x and it's valid C in C2x and later.
va_start(list, some_arg);

// This should be accepted in C2x mode and if you care
// to do such things, warn the user that it's incompatible
// with standards before C2x. Pre-C2x, this is an error.
va_start(list);

// Under what circumstances is this anything other than
// programmer confusion? It's invalid before C2x and the
// extra args are meaningless in C2x and later.
va_start(list, 1, 2, 3, 4);
```
