I quite like the simplicity of this spelling, so I want to be sure *why* it must be ruled out. (...or does it, really?) I'm thinking that this... * Martijn Faassen <faas...@startifact.com> [2009-11-25 22:21]: > The last one won't work if we want to maintain backwards compatibility. > The second argument is the default. is a valid argument, while this... * Tres Seaver <tsea...@palladion.com> [2009-11-25 13:34]: > You can't use an arbitrary number of positional arguments for the > contexts, because we need to support the named / default cases too. is not, as evidenced by... * Fabio Tranchitella <kob...@kobold.it> [2009-11-25 20:51]: > IFoo(x, y, default=None, name='something') or am I missing something here? So I'm thinking, there is no technical reason that prevents Thomas' spelling, and I'm wondering, do we really have to preserve backwards compatibility for this case?
