It also works in reverse.  Watch this:

irb(main):001:0> def var_args( *args )
irb(main):002:1>   fixed_args(*args)    # expanded back out
irb(main):003:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):004:0> def fixed_args( one, two, three )
irb(main):005:1>   p three
irb(main):006:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):007:0> var_args 1, 2, 3
3
=> nil
