# Sometimes during repeat calls to a function, it may be helpful if arguments used in a 
# previous call are passed as a list to the function in subsequent calls, to be 
# superseded if individual arguments of the same name are given.
#
# The following function prioritises specified arguments (including ... arguments) over an
# argument list, and the argument list over default values.

handle_args <- function(arg1 = 1, arg2 = 2, arglist = list(), ...) {
  
  # Copy default arguments
