Variadic argument support in LESS 1.3.0

.mixin (...) {        // matches 0-N arguments
.mixin () {           // matches exactly 0 arguments
.mixin (@a: 1) {      // matches 0-1 arguments
.mixin (@a: 1, ...) { // matches 0-N arguments
.mixin (@a, ...) {    // matches 1-N arguments

Furthermore:

.mixin (@a, @rest...) {
   // @rest is bound to arguments after @a
   // @arguments is bound to all arguments
}

@arguments concats varargs as a single string (which is why there are no commas). the above is interpreted as two seperate variables - not 1 comma delimited var. You could do this:

.element {
  .box-shadow(~"0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.1), inset 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.075)");
}

Because of this, doesn't seem like we're getting anything from the @arguments var... just use @shadow

Ahhh, yes didn't even think about that at the time. <3

That works, but I find it rather counter intuitive with mixins that provide a uniform facade to browser specific prefixes such as .box-shadow above.

Markdotto: You can do this.

.lol(@arg...){
  background: ~`"@{arg}".replace("]","").replace("[","")`;
}
.lol(hi,lol,rofl);

result: background: hi, lol, rofl;

Very useful reference, even from 2014.
