Sounds like you’re volunteering?   Thanks!

Seriously... what would you do?   What did the original author overlook?   How would you improve upon it?   (I said:   seriously.)

    No, I'm having a software engineering discussion in order to further my understanding of where my viewpoint is sound/unsound.
    what would you do?
    I would use capitilized versions of the functions for my named parameter API.
    What did the original author overlook?
    Overlook? I just said I dont like the overloading - where a single function has two different behaviors based on the type of arguments passed.
    How would you improve upon it?
    See the answer to your question: "What would you do?"

      Thank you, sincerely, for the clarification.   It helps my understanding of your intentions for this thread quite considerably.   I have no further objections, and I have nothing in particular to contribute, so I will now be “listening” attentively.   I think it is good to examine such things.
