The notion of what is simpler is clearly objective and we may never agree,
but I may be satisfied by a concrete example which you consider
as simpler.
I just honestly can't think of any case where the "multiple args feature"
can be used without either introducing bugs, or just pushing the arguably
strange behavior (of having a list of strings which will be concatenated
by Emacs and re-split later differently by the shell) to the user of
that code.
