Comment(by wagle):
I was trying to distinguish between a getter (0 args) and a setter (1
arg), and the getter was grabbing things with 1 arg, which I think is a
total error.
I understand that its a (sloppy) unix idiom to often pretend that :main
receives 1,2, or 3 args, so I could see :main setting up a complex :multi
(and/or implied .param's) for that.
Everything else is an error. Squash it now, it ain't going to get better
with time. Add a catch-all dummy .param option if you must.
By the way, my zero-arity getter was marked :multi(), making it twice the
error (?) for it to accept arity-1 calls, ESPECIALLY since there was a
arity-1 acceptor (ie, the setter) sitting there, ready.
