You need to write the function differently, as it’s not possible to do what you’re asking, and it doesn’t really make any sense, if you think about it; what if your function is invoked with expressions and other function calls in the argument list?

Instead, write a function like this:

function yourFunction(object) {
  for (argName in object) {
    if (object.hasOwnProperty(argName)) {
      var argValue = object[argName];
      // now argName is an argument name, and
      // argValue is the value, and you can do
      // whatever you like
    }
  }
}

When you call the function, you’ll do this:

if (whatever)
  yourFunction({ arg1: value1, arg2: value2, arg3: value3 });
