Default is already a reserved word AFAIK. But I've been thinking about alternatives to parameter skipping syntax which brought me the Golang blank identifier _ to mind: create_query("deleted=0", "name", _, _, true); Still not sure if it's better than `default`, though. 2015-01-14 16:15 GMT-03:00 Marc Bennewitz <dev@mabe.berlin>: > Hi Stas, > > I really like this RFC.
