How to forward arguments from one function to another in PowerShell

Question

I'm trying to create a PowerShell function which wraps another function. I want my function to take a variable number of arguments and to pass those onto the wrapped function. Is there anyway to do this?

Specifically what I am trying to do is something like this:

function MakeRequest() {
    if ($session) {
        $resp = Invoke-WebRequest -WebSession $session $args
    } else {
        $resp = Invoke-WebRequest -SessionVariable session $args
    }
    $resp
}

You can use splatting for this:

function MakeRequest() {
    if ($session) {
        $resp = Invoke-WebRequest -WebSession $session @args
    } else {
        $resp = Invoke-WebRequest -SessionVariable session @args
    }
    $resp
}
