Many other hooks also have no args, module_invoke_all has been able to
support 0-n args for a long time. This is a problem long since solve in php
and in various parts of drupal already. func_get_args,
call_user_func_array(), etc...

Themes can all call any hook. This is not a special case.  Really you're
going to have to explain, "themes can't call the corresponding
HOOK_theme_registry_alter()". Why not?
