This is certainly valid criticism on a number of grounds, but copypasta continues to be a fairly prominent API "design" technique, so we might as well set the right example. I've suggested "@unknown" as @ is not part of tchar. (Seph's type is certainly neater, but this is JavaScript.) > I've got plenty of popcorn. Please share some at the next meeting. 😊
