It's a parameter list so you have only to test until a parameter isn't
known. I think a while loop and a catch will pretty do the job and this
should be included by e.g. @paramtest, Probably it could transform the
data in a structure. So then you could use n_tags() instead of
n_params() and positional tags .(0-n) in the code.
In the opposite direction it is descripted by Thomas.

If we use @paramtest we have only to change the internal assignment of
variables exchanging the execute statement and not the calling sequence.
So it does not affect current code calling these routines without vm.
