Neither did I when I orignally implemented it.

Valid arguments cannot be equal to NULL unless we actually want to
terminate the list at this point and ignore all following arguments.

This wouldn't be nice for another reaѕon: the gerepileall() function
should be as fast as possible, and it needs to know its number of
arguments before starting to actually process them. I don't want to
traverse the arg list twice to count them first...
