You can't make them scanned by rb_scan_args().  But you can have:

  * a method which takes arbtrary number of argument; defined by -1
    or -2 for argument number.

  * a method with fixed sized argument upto 15.

So, check your arguments by yourself.  I'll add new function to check
and parse argument list in the future, to enable keyword arguments.
Stay tuned.
