  That's a very good point.
  I threw the idea on overloadable identifiers just as a suggestion but this
default parameter system is IMHO a very worthy of consideration.
  Perhaps it could go a little more further so that you could type:

#macro Test(a,b,c) ... #end
...

Test(1,2)
Test(1,,3)
Test(,2,3)
