Makes sense to have new better overlapping APIs while old ones are slowly deprecated (which is still a (delayed) BC break). Thanks for clarifying this, anyway. But I still disagree when you say that parameter skipping would instantly "encourage horrible APIs". That's a huge stretch, IMMO, unless you have any real case to support such statement. 2015-01-05 20:17 GMT-03:00 Andrea Faulds <a...@ajf.me>: > Hi Marcio, > > > On 5 Jan 2015, at 23:14, Marcio Almada <marcio.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Not sure how this RFC rant is helpful since it's based on completely > unreal > > alternatives.
