But it's a *terrible* solution to a "problem" that most (all?) people
wouldn't even encounter - because that's just not the problem to worry
about. I really do worry about some ColdFusion developers... I've seen
some of the most peculiar "solutions" to "non-problems" amongst the CF
community... far more so than I've ever seen in nearly 25 years of
computing amongst all manner of programmers.

Then maybe you should accept that you're trying to solve a non-problem
and that when other folks suggest simple solutions (like passing
positional arguments) they're doing so from a position of some
authority? Doesn't mean they're automatically right but doesn't mean
you are either...

Unfortunately, others do :(

Taco, you post some interesting conundrums and I thank you for that
because it makes us all think hard about problems. That's a good
thing. But sometimes you make a "problem" out of a non-problem when
there really are much simpler, much more intuitive solutions. And this
is definitely one of those cases...
