Hi, I would like to study the impact of adding optional parameters to keyword methods in Pharo. The goal of optional parameters is to facilitate the implementation of methods where some parameters are optional. For example, Seaside has: WAComponent>>request: aRequestString label: aLabelString default: aDefaultString onAnswer: aBlock ... This method of 4 arguments has only 1 required argument (aRequestString) and 3 optional ones. In the current implementation, this results in 7 additional methods that only delegate directly or indirectly to the one above: - request: - request:default: - request:default:onAnswer: - request:label: - request:label:default: - request:label:onAnswer: - request:onAnswer: Before starting to implement anything, I need to know if it makes sense. If you want to help me, please send me all the use cases you have by giving me: - the library name (and URL if not in Catalog), or "pharo" if it's in Pharo - the class where this happens - the range of selectors that make sense For the example above, this would be: - Seaside - WAComponent - request:* Thank you very much -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
