call a function with the tail of the callee's arguments list
<p>I'm trying to write a function
that would use its first argument, then send the rest (not known how many) to another one:</p>

<pre><code>function consume_data() {
   args = consume_data.arguments;
   do_some(args[0]);
   consume_the_rest(args[1], args[2], args[3] ... );
}
</code></pre>

<p>Do I have to use strings to compose the call and eval or is there a neater way?</p>
