Okay, now I see what you mean, you want to be able to pass an array of 
strings/arguments to Elisp.  Then I think that the cleanest/most flexible 
way to do that would be

--setq VAR VAL ... --

(note the final double hyphen) defined as having the effect of (setq VAR 
(list "VAL" ...)).  That would allow zero, one or more arguments.
