Yes, I could.
But I still have to
- specify ALL paramters
- specify them in strict order

With built-in functions, i can write :
light_source {... area_light ... circular orient adaptive 2}
or, as well
light_source {... area_light ... adaptive 2 orient circular}

I know that almost no programming language allows that kind
of parsing feature in user-defined functions, but I regret it.
