    Oh, so you want to accept something like printf in C?

OK, that's tougher, but here's what comes to mind:

fcallBegin: FUNC '('  {$$.clear();  $$.add($1);}
| fcallBegin exp ','  {$$.add($2);}

fcall: fcallBegin ')'  {func($$);}

    Here, you would have to make some sort of list class (or the equivalent
in C), and it would hold the function name & all of the arguments passed to
it.  You would need to code a wrapper for the function you want to call that
accepts the list class and does the real call itself.
