OFF-TOPIC

I love how modern OOP programming work. Your atributes are visible on your methods like tiny globals :D, but withouth the 99% side effects of real globals.

"Code evolve to become more flexible, inflexible code break" -- Eloy

Adding more parameters to a functions is horrible. Mean your code is not flexible. Mean you need to make changes on existing, working, debugged code, that is very expensive and ineficient.

I dont care the number of parameters a function have, 0 (like most OOP methods), 2 or 30 (useable if you can name then), but If a simple change on functionality force you to change the number of parameters, is bad.

A horryble, buggy, hacky way to acchieve that is pass parameters as a array, or as a structure, or directly use objects.  So I agree with the "Ray Essick" one. Structures are for complex stuff, rarelly change stuff. And this stuff is a feature "rarelly change stuff". (Can I say "stable" on this mail list?)
