mmm... okay... that's interresting... So beyond the syntax in the cffunction tag, how and why would you reference that information?
I guess I'm not sure what use the extra meta data is. I also noticed that the hint attribute of the cffunction tag isn't mentioned in the list of attributes or in the example in the livedocs, but it does appear in the "usage" section. Is this an example of extra metadata? Iirc the hint appears in a cfdump of the function right? > When it comes to cfcomponent, function, and argument, mx > allows random > crap that gets appended to the metadata.
