Description:
An #invoke call currently requires two arguments: the module name and the function to call from the table it returns. However, in some cases, modules return only one function (they have a single common "entry point") and the table is technically redundant. An example is Module:nl-verb on en.wiktionary, which exports only the function "export.conjugate" and thus all invocations will be {{#invoke:nl-verb|conjugate|...}}.

It would be nice if, in this case, the module could just return a single function, and the invoke call could forego including the function name. However, this would mean that, if called with {{#invoke:foo|bar|baz}}, then within the function that Module:foo returns, frame.args[1] is now "bar" and frame.args[2] is "baz". This differs from the usual behaviour which would be to call the function "bar" and then frame.args[1] would be "baz". I don't know if that is a problem.
