The ... argument

I think my earlier example didn't fully represent my
problem. I'm trying to evaluate the arguments passed
in via ... by:
foo1 <- function(...) {
eval(as.list(match.call()[-1]))
Why? The way to get the _evaluated_ ... arguments is dotValues <- list(...) See, for example, under "..." in the index to the "blue book".
foo2 <- function(...) foo1(...) So now,
foo1(a=F)
$a F
foo2(a=F)
$a ..1
