Your suggestion for this feature was something that

the nth arg + any following args, so I was wondering
if you have that
in GF.
I only have [args a b c *] outputting $4+following out of the right outlet.
If I had this feature in GridFlow, it wouldn't be working in [expr] anyway.
That's just an example. But I think it is the best way to handle getting args inside an abstraction because it obviates the need for all of the "arg-getting" objects scattered about pd-extended, and it's more flexible than any of them because you can expand the args directly in an object box like [$@].
Then maybe "$@4" could mean "everything from $4 to the last arg".
