But would change the way the functions are intended to be able to called.

myFunction(the loc of control 1) has one comma delimited Parameter
while
myFunction(item 1 of the loc of control 1,item 2 of the loc of control 1) has 2 parameters

Thus combining all params into a literal first and then breaking out the items of that in the desired order

Agreed. :-)
