Looking for a lightweight way to print all of the following:

```julia
<arg/keyword-arg> .=> <value that was passed or default>

```

here is what the equivalent would be in python:

```julia
print(getcallargs(show_params, *args, **kwargs))

```

Perhaps:

```julia
function foo(x, y)
    for (k, v) in Base.@locals
        println("$k => $v");
    end
end

julia> foo(1,2)
y => 2
x => 1

```
