Re: Problem with function prototypes

Well, the point would be to improve the error checking in the vast majority of cases where the check for too many arguments is neglected.

(I never realised why too many options is a bad thing. /.../

It's bad because it can mask programming mistakes. In that case, the question rather becomes: What good is it? I can only think of cases with some sort of generalized function call dispatch, but that gets very contrived.

Add semantics to check for too many options, instead?

Maybe a "%$" or something?

(I never realised why too many options is a bad thing. But then again, I don't use strong typing either...)
