Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! structs are the single biggest thing I missed when
coming to 4D from C; and I still miss them. Objects are not a substitute, nice
and useful though they may be.

Yes, wouldn't that be nice :(
Well, I might hate you less ;-) if instead of:

We coud write something like:

or

If the optional parameters
Julio,
I'm sure that you hate what I'm saying in the nicest possible way ;-)
I think that you more-or-less got what I was saying, although a bit less
ugly that. This sort of code is really horrible in every way:
OB SET($options;”o4”;p4;”o5”;”";”o6”;”";”o7”;”") or
David,
If I understood your thoughts right, which is no guarantee at all ;), I believe
you are proposing replacing a method call like:
MyMethodWithOptionals(p1, p2, p3, p4)
or
MyMethodWithOptionals(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6,p7)
where parameters 1-3 are mandatory and 4-7 optional, by
5 matches
