Yes. The function can be made private thru setting access=private, and arguments can be set to either required or not: required="true" and you can use the Display Name or Hints to say whether required or not and inform of any default value.

I didn't know you could do that. Is there *any* way to make them private? I noticed that the component documentation says all the arguments are required, is it possible to declare which arguments are required and which ones aren't? What else can you do with this... playing with it, it really doesn't seem very flexible, but I still have hope.
