 Can we achieve this with overloading the function? Not quite sure
 whether the compiler would find it ambigious though.

 I understandn why you want this. But having to use fmt() pretty much
 everytime isn't great either, and the case where one passes in a
 variable as the first argument seems rare. And we already have other
 functions than fmt() as well that take var args.
