Problem Description:
Within a function, the Arguments scope is a struct, also accessible via `Local.Arguments`.
This struct is not treated as such by the query functions of CFML. Specifically, when attempting to add a row to a newly created query object using the arguments struct, an error is returned indicating that only a struct or array of structs may be used to add rows.

This applies when using Local.Arguments, or copying the Arguments struct using `StructCopy`. 

Furthermore, if adding the arguments struct to an array and passing this to the `QueryAddRow()` function, the resulting query contains the entire arguments struct in the second field of the first row.

All the above works as expected in Lucee.

Steps to Reproduce:
Fiddle here: https://cffiddle.org/app/file?filepath=92e9527d-8913-4a90-b12a-eb5b266dea0a/99cce3f2-74c0-4a8e-a8de-e93b9839ad97/6839c9d0-3c60-4fbe-8be0-f5f618b3180c.cfm

Code:
```
<cfscript>
	public function createQueryFromArguments(
	        required string test1
        ,   required string test2
	) {
		// Create CSV
		Local.testQuery = queryNew(structKeyList(Arguments));
		queryAddRow(Local.testQuery, Arguments);
		return Local.testQuery
	}
	
	writeDump(createQueryFromArguments('foo', 'bar'));
</cfscript>
```

Actual Result:
Unhandled Exception: Only struct or array of struct is allowed for adding a row. 

Expected Result:
Query row populated with content of arguments struct, or at least, `Local.Arguments`.

Any Workarounds:
Easy enough to construct a temporary struct containing the arguments with the following code:
```
		for (Local.thisArgument in StructKeyList(Arguments)) {
			Local.rowStruct[Local.thisArgument] = Arguments[Local.thisArgument];
		}

		queryAddRow(Local.testQuery, Local.rowStruct);
```
However, I still think this should be considered a bug, as it does not function as expected, and works fine in Lucee.
