To push the limit, let's add some default value: def foo(prec: --precision int = 123): ... vs. def foo(prec: "--precision int" = 123): ... And if a "type parameter" becomes numeric. For example: def foo(prec: --max bar 3000 = 123): ... vs. def foo(prec: "--max bar 3000" = 123): ... Now, the quotes seem even more readable as a delimiter. Paul
