The attached patch completely reworks Parrot_process_args. The changes are extensive and I think they make the code much clearer. Rather than just check it in, I thought I'd try to get feedback here to make sure that it is clearer to everyone else and not just to myself.
This patch also fixes a few bugs: #40490: Flat/Slurpy Named Parameter Passing Errors A couple todo'd error condition tests I'm sure there is more that can be done to clean things up, but this is at least a start. I've already spent 15+ hours on this patch, so I'm ready to check things in and leave further improvements for another time. -- Matt Diephouse http://matt.diephouse.com
