[Rd] Getting ... without evaluating it?

I'd like a function to get an unevaluated copy of its argument list,
including ... . That is, I'd like
f <- function(...) {
args <- <what goes here??>
args
}
when called as
f(a = 1+1, b = foo)
to return something like list(a = quote(1+1), b = quote(foo)). If I use
args <- list(...) then it tries to evaluate the arguments and dies
(because foo doesn't exist). If I use args <- substitute(...) then it
gives just 1+1, it doesn't keep the names or give the whole list.
Is this possible?
