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... s_P
