I bet my last 2 cents this has already been raised in past but I want
to give it a try and revamp the subject anyway.
Is there a reason why the error shouldn't be adjusted to state that
*1* argument is actually required instead of 2?


+1 - I've seen many newbies confused by this error and I sometimes do a double-take myself.

All the best,

Michael
