            Bug ID: 25388
           Summary: Boolean arguments
           Product: Web Cryptography
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Cryptography API Document
          Assignee: sleevi@google.com
          Reporter: annevk@annevk.nl
                CC: domenic@domenicdenicola.com, public-webcrypto@w3.org

Boolean arguments for methods are bad news. E.g. nobody ever remembers how
addEventListener's third or XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open's third argument
functions.

See http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?CodeSmellMetrics

It seems most of these methods could be designed to take a dictionary of sorts
instead so the argument can be named and understood.
