I think this may have been broken in 3.x, but in 2.6 the compiler will
unpack directly if you put a tuple structure in the arg list:

         def doit(fn, (args, kwargs), expect):
             actual = fn(*args, **kwargs)

Otherwise I'd just say "all_args" or some such.  Or just "args" which
you unpack into "pos_args" (positional args) and "kw_args".
