This sounds more like default values for parameters than
overloading--although overloading might also be nice, I don't think it
would be possible without changing the syntax for variables(which might
not be such a bad idea).

This is one of the most common ones. Here is the list of ones that have
caused their owners to sprout broken noses so far....
DimWitt (3)
DipShit (2)
DeTwitt (1)
DickLick (1)(which my spellchecker thinks should be picklock)
DeWittless (1)
I once let a "BeShat" slide on account of originality and because he got
the past tense of "to shit" correct.

Ahem, that past tense is a myth last that I cared to check. It follows
the conjugation of "sit" because they are somewhat related, but it
could as well have preferred the "fit" way. It's a made-up thing
afaik.

Since it derives from Old English, and most of the similar verbs derived
from Old English ("sit" and "spit") are strong verbs, it's entirely
logical that it follow the same pattern. I don't have an OED, and none
of my Old English textbooks have the word, but I don't have the Old
English leechcraft book (the one place I'd expect it), so I'm not
entirely surprised I can't find it. If I really, really wanted to, I
might be able to look it up at the friendly neighborhood reference
library.

You may want to reconsider after reading:

As a programmer I don't agree with him, but as a user I surely have to :-)

I had a similar problem writing my wall macro.
What I did was to have as macro parameters only those
fields necessarry. At the beginning of the file with the macro in,
I declare variables for the optional stuff to a default. The
user can then redeclare the variables before calling the macro.
eg
// file macro.inc
#declare Var1=0;
#macro ThisandThat(Vara,Varb,varc)
....
// Use var1 somewhere here
....
#end
Works fine for me, also solves the problem of not being able to
remember which parameter comes first.
