It's ugly, but it's doable....

Presumably, you have some code that will call some other code which
has an unknown number of inputs (and possibly outputs), making it
impossible to elegantly write it ahead of time. However, the first
code must know what number of inputs and outputs that code 2 should
have, so why not just write code 2 in real-time. So store your code
as a string (or even read it from an ascii file) and write it out to
be compiled with "resolve_routine" and called by "call_procedure" or
"call_function". You could use "execute", but that'll be a mess if
you decide to use the IDL Virtual Machine.
