Node.js - Is there a way one can access the arguments passed to a 'setTimeout' using the returned timeoutObject?

According to the Node.js behaviour for 'setTimeout', it "returns a timeoutObject for possible use with clearTimeout(). Optionally you can also pass arguments to the callback".

Is there any way that once a setTimeout is called and a timeoutObject is generated, I can access the arguments passed to the callback using the timeoutObject?

E.g. var timeout = setTimeout(function(a,b) { console.log(a); console.log(b);}, 5000, 'Foo', 'Bar');

I would like to access the arguments passed ('Foo' and 'Bar') using the 'timeout' variable. Any way this can be achieved?

There is not. You could certainly make your own wrapper function that returns a normal object that tracks the timer object and the args though.
