* Nonpositional arguments for xotcl procs/instprocs; this is a flexible way to check arguments, to provide defaults etc for every xotcl proc/instproc. It uses a similar syntax as ad_proc and ad_page_contract in OACS. See the tutorial for more details.
Interesting... I wonder if something like that could be TIPped into Tcl itself? What about if I don't define any nonpositional arguments, can I pass arguments beginning with a dash? I kind of hope so, or otherwise it may be necessary to pass "--" everywhere, and it adds incompatibility with older XOTcls.
