If you look at just about all recent macros, they have far more checking
than that. And that's good.
Checking simply for "" does not work for ESPIE because it has acceptable
positional parameters which vary according to the rest of the
specification.
And in fact the OP's example would not have

Thank you. You answered my real question. And so with that knowledge I can say
that the RFE is like screaming in space. No one will hear.

There is no "should" in this sort of situation. There is a "could". There
is a "wouldn't it be nice if".
Could it be done? Sure. Would having done so have helped this case? Sure.
Would doing so be a better use of limited resources than doing something
else?
There is no requirement that a

I think in this case, ESPIE, it should check for extraneous operands. It
evidently has a maximum of 3 positional operands, and it would certainly
complain if MF(E(1)) was one of them.
Re allowing a trailing comma: I wouldn't, and I think Jonathan's
justification is off the mark. The check for

I have a question. If one passes too many positional arguments to
a macro, should one not issue an MNOTE about this?
Please try the following, and let me know what you think about this:
ESPIE SET,MYRTN,(1,3,7),PARAM=(3),MF(E,(1))

Yes, the above should have "="
