Blech.
I have no point other than to indicate that there is a discrepancy.
It is *important* enough that I noticed the discrepancy when trying to
_understand_ what the function does!
The discrepancy - however trivial it may be to _you_ - is none the
less a discrepancy.
Surely you don't hold this view for _all_ functions.
Should one assume that consistent indication of the args to a function
is of no importance across the board - or does this apply only for
this particular inconsistency?
Some pigs are more equal than others i guess...
