What would it take to implement the Uniform Function Call Syntax
for a function's argument which is not the first?
Right now it is possible to do the following:
int someNumber(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}
void main()
{
int n1 = 5;
int n2 = n1.someNumber(n1 + 1); // Here the `n1

The primary benefit of UFCS is so that generic cod

You are wrong. We can use n1 for the second parameter.
int someNumber(int a, int b)

return a + b;

int main()

int n1 = 5;
return (n1.someNumber = n1); // 10

In this specific case, yes - however:

Ultimately, the only technical benefit from UFCS is that it
allows you to call a function without caring whether it's a
member function or a free function, which is of great benefit
to generic code and not really much else. Ot
