Two questions:
How many of you have never before known that commas are optional
between definition arguments?
For those who've known about this, were you confused to discover that
this only works for definitions but not calls?
I did, and no didn't find it confusing.
I discovered it maybe a year or two ago, when some code I downloaded
used it.
I blinked a few times in surprise, shuddered - and knew that it was just
a (mis)feature that I will never, ever use :-)
On the other hand, perhaps a rule could be introduced that any
keywords used in arg strings with no commas when calling a custom
handler are treated as literal text.
NO, please not.
Just think of the consequences ...
DoSomething tA and tB
is different from
put tA and tB into temp
DoSomething temp
and indeed from
DoSomething (tA and tB)
