Yes, I meant "future", that was a rather embarrasing double-typo on my  
side which I realized right after I sent the mail. (At least I got one  
"feature" right in there!)

BTW, I also like this notation:
myFunction("this","that",,,false,true,,5)

being able to omit variables in-between, telling the function to use  
defaults. But I don't think any party would be willing to change the way  
things work (probably requiring an ecmascript syntax change)
