Hi Emanuel,
Yes, this is how CL optional and keyword arguments work. See (info
"(cl) Argument Lists") and search for "SVAR". It does require a bit
more diligence in some cases, but it also provides more flexibility.
And FWIW, I think I actually have to check the SVAR something like 1% of
the time I use CL argument lists, or maybe less. So that "gotcha"
rarely "gets you" in practice. :)
