Hi Ciprian,
I ran into same problem when I tried to interface Lapack with FFI a few years ago. So I used this simple idea to let the Compiler automatically pass an array of arguments, with two variants - hacked the compiler - subclassed the compiler
Just as a side note, today i think that 15 args is too much. I would even put less, say 5. To my thinking, methods which taking more than 5 arguments need to be refactored to /dev/null, and developers who think that it is good idea to make so much arguments be sent to correction facility :)
