No it isn't, unless you're using some unusual version of the word
"subset" that's more like object inheritance than like the usual
definition of the word.  Your "proper subset" here has additional
properties not present in the superset.  Having a variable number of
arguments carries the implication that the number of arguments is not
known in advance.  That's not implicit in simply stating that a method
has "any number of arguments".
