Pass array to ParamArray

Pass a ParamArray argument to another function that expects a ParamArray argument (delegate ParamArray arguments).
I need to delegate to a function of type: strf(str as string, ParamArray args() as Variant) as String the arguments received in other function in a ParamArray passing directly without explicitly write.
The restrictions I’ve found are:

  1. A ParamArray() it can only be passed to another function that expects a ParamArray.
  2. The ParamArray is received at element 0 as a Variant ()
  3. When the second function receives it increases a level of depth
    I have not found any satisfactory solution, but I have written a function that works perfectly, undoing the depth levels added and returning a vector with arguments received.

Code:

Option Explicit
Option Base 1

Public Sub PrAr1(ParamArray pa1() As Variant)
Dim arr() As Variant
  arr = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa1)
  PrAr2 pa1
End Sub

Public Sub PrAr2(ParamArray pa2() As Variant)
Dim i As Integer, arrPrms() As Variant
  arrPrms = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa2)
  For i = 0 To UBound(arrPrms)
    Debug.Print s.strf("i: %0 prm: %1 ", i, arrPrms(i))
  Next i
  PrAr3 pa2
End Sub

Public Sub PrAr3(ParamArray pa3() As Variant)
Dim i As Integer, arrPrms() As Variant
  arrPrms = fn.ParamArrayDelegated(pa3)
  For i = 0 To UBound(arrPrms)
    Debug.Print s.strf("i: %0 prm: %1 ", i, arrPrms(i))
  Next i
End Sub

Public Function ParamArrayDelegated(ParamArray prms() As Variant) As Variant
Dim arrPrms() As Variant, arrWrk() As Variant
'When prms(0) is Array, supposed is delegated from another function
  arrPrms = prms
  Do While VarType(arrPrms(0)) >= vbArray And UBound(arrPrms) < 1
    arrWrk = arrPrms(0)
    arrPrms = arrWrk
  Loop
  ParamArrayDelegated = arrPrms
End Function
