Note, the variadic part is for placeholders, which are supported by evaluate(), and not really part of the issue.  Again, from my experience it seems that implementing this once correctly in the library would save much pain on the users’ part.

  I haven't actually started looking at YAP yet, but I
think the correct way to handle this for YAP to expose
a transform that does the same as evaluate, which
can be selectively overridden by a derived transform.
