In the formal argument list, it is possible to use the dummy placeholder
~ instead of a name.  This indicates that the corresponding argument
value should be ignored and not stored to any variable.
     function val = pick2nd (~, arg2)
       val = arg2;
     endfunction
   The value of nargin is not affected by using this declaration.
