As promised

### Untested
pmean <- function(...){
    dotArgs <- list(...)
    l <- length(dotArgs)
    if( l == 0L ) stop("no arguments")
    temp <- dotArgs[[1]]
    if ( l > 1L ) {for(i in 2L:l) {temp <- temp + dotArgs[[i]]}}
    temp/l
}

Clunky but gets the job done. Its still too early for me to think straight so 
I'll let someone else kill the loop and add error checking if interested.
