mm.. well, i prefer that fairly common would be to pass meaningful data back and forth rather than dummy values. I don't understand... when I say "fairly common", I mean that in the C world, it seems common to use null-passing for optional arguments. I'm not saying that it's a good idea, but we don't have control over that, so...
For that best solution, IMO, would be to use 2 methods which call same function, but one uses 'nil' in function signature (and therefore method doesn't takes extra argument), while other takes extra argument but doesn't accepts nils, for sure. Yuck ;)
