Seems like your code kind of do what you intended, but ... 

1) Either you know what function you are (eventually) going to call, and 
   then there are more straightforward ways of collecting the arguments.

2) Or, you don't know what function you are going to call, and then there 
   will be no way to know what sensible arguments to collect?

The example works because you know what arguments to pass to the 
testfunction, so why not just call it? If the arguments or the function 
is changed, then the program stops making sense!? The way I see it, the 
most efficient way to pack the arguments is by calling the function. This 
_is_ the "packing of variables at runtime". Or did you have something 
else in mind?
