How could I pass a dynamic set of arguments to Go's command exec.Command?

Question

I came across a question on here relating to arguments being passed to Go's exec.Command function, and I was wondering if there was a way do pass these arguments dynamically? Here's some sample code from sed question:

package main

import "os/exec"

func main() {
    app := "echo"
    //app := "buah"

    arg0 := "-e"
    arg1 := "Hello world"
    arg2 := "\n\tfrom"
    arg3 := "golang"

    cmd := exec.Command(app, arg0, arg1, arg2, arg3)
    out, err := cmd.Output()

    if err != nil {
        println(err.Error())
        return
    }

    print(string(out))
}

So as you can see each arg is defined above as arg0, arg1, arg2 and arg3. They are passed into the Command function along with the actual command to run, in this case, the app var.

What if I had an array of arguments that always perhaps had an indeterministic count that I wanted to pass through. Is this possible?

Like this:

args := []string{"what", "ever", "you", "like"}
cmd := exec.Command(app, args...)

Have a look at the language and tutorial on golang.org.
